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. )

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.
