Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sautéing the Base

    In a large pot or pressure cooker, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are golden brown.

  2. 2

    Adding Aromatics

    Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cooking the Meat

    Add the cubed beef or lamb to the pot. Cook until the meat is browned on all sides.

  4. 4

    Incorporating Spices

    Mix in the salt, black pepper, red chili powder, cumin powder, and coriander powder. Stir well to coat the meat.

  5. 5

    Adding Tomatoes and Yogurt

    Pour in the pureed tomatoes and yogurt, and mix thoroughly. Bring to a simmer.

  6. 6

    Slow Cooking

    Cover the pot and let it simmer on low heat for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the meat is tender. If using a pressure cooker, cook for about 30-40 minutes on high pressure.

  7. 7

    Final Touch

    Once the meat is cooked, sprinkle garam masala and stir. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
