1. 1Slice the beef thinly (as for a stir fry) and place in a medium bowl.
2. 2Add all of the other ingredients, except the tomatoes, green onions and rice and combine to coat the meat well.
3. 3Let sit for 10-15 minutes to flavor the meat.
4. 4Heat a medium pan with a lid over medium heat.
5. 5Add the meat and brown well, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook over medium heat until all of the meat juices have evaporated and only oil remains in the bottom of the pan with the meat.
6. 6Add the tomatoes, stir to combine and lower the heat to medium low.
7. 7Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and most of the moisture from the tomatoes has been absorbed by the meat, about 30 minutes.
8. 8If sauce becomes too thick before the beef is tender, add cup water and continue to simmer with the lid on.
9. 9Taste and adjust the seasoning adding additional salt if needed. Madras curries are often spicy.
10. 10Additional cayenne pepper may be added at this point if a spicier curry is desired.
11. 11Serve over steamed basmati rice with chopped green onions on top.
