Indian Beef Curry

Step 1

Cut the beef into same-size small cubes. Season the beef cubes with salt, turmeric, chilli powder, garam masala, ginger, and cooking oil. Mix it well and marinate for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat the pan to medium heat and add oil. Once the oil is hot, add cumin seeds, cinnamon, and bay leaves. Let them sizzle for a few seconds.

Step 3

Next, add onions and cook until translucent. Then add the grated garlic and sauté for a few seconds until light brown. Then add the tomatoes and cook until the tomatoes are soft.

Step 4

Add beef and ground spices ( chilli, turmeric, coriander powder, garam masala ). Combine everything well and cook for 1-2 minutes. Then add water and salt to taste.

Step 5

Stir everything well. Bring the heat to low, close the lid and simmer for 1 hour or until the beef is tender. ( Check occasionally and add more water if necessary. )

Step 6

Once the beef is tender, turn off the heat and add coriander. Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with coriander and serve with plain basmati rice, naan, or chapati.
