Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef (boneless, cut into small cubes)
• 2 medium Onions (sliced thinly)
• 2 medium Tomatoes (finely chopped)
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
• 1 inch piece Ginger (minced)
• 2 pieces Green chilies (slit lengthwise)
• 100 ml Curd (plain yogurt)
• 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoons Red chili powder
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoons Garam masala
• 1 teaspoons Cumin seeds
• 10 leaves Curry leaves
• 3 tablespoons Oil (vegetable or mustard oil)
• 1 to taste Salt
• 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Clean and wash the beef cubes thoroughly. Pat them dry and set aside.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, marinate the beef with curd, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Heat oil in a deep pan or kadhai over medium heat. Once hot, add the cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Step 4

Add the curry leaves, minced garlic, and ginger, and sauté until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced onions and green chilies. Cook until the onions turn golden brown.

Step 6

Add the chopped tomatoes and cook until they are soft and the oil begins to separate.

Step 7

Stir in the marinated beef and toss well to coat the meat in the masala mixture.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the beef cook in its own juices. Stir occasionally.

Step 9

Add the coriander powder and garam masala, mixing well to combine. If the mixture seems dry, add a splash of water to prevent sticking.

Step 10

Continue cooking until the beef is tender (approximately 30-35 minutes). Check occasionally for doneness.

Step 11

Once the beef is cooked and the gravy thickens, adjust salt to taste and turn off the heat.

Step 12

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with rice, naan, or parathas.
