In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until softened.
Add beef, chili powder, and curry powder. Cook until beef is browned and spices are evenly distributed.
Stir in tomato paste and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a mixing bowl, combine cornmeal, water, and a pinch of salt. Mix until dough forms.
Form dough into small dumplings and drop them into the simmering chili. Cover and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until dumplings are cooked through.
Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
🍴 Serve and Enjoy!
