Ingredient ! 5 pounds beef. 1 onions. 12 garlic cloves. 1 teaspoon fenugreek. 1 teaspoon coriander. 1 teaspoon black mustard . 2 teaspoons cumin seed. 2 teaspoons ground turmeric. 3 red chili peppers . 2 tablespoons curry powder. 1 cup fresh coriander . 4 potatoes. 2 carrots. one by three cup yogurt.
Preparation ! Mash the garlic and salt in a bowl. Add just a bit of water to make a paste. Add the cumin seed, fenugreek seed, coriander seed, black mustard seed, curry powder and turmeric powder plus red chili to taste and pound to a smooth paste.
Use a blender to make the garlic and spice mix. Add just enough water to blend. I use a bouillon cube instead of salt.
Add a handful of fresh coriander leaves and cook in a heavy pot over medium heat until thick. Add the meat to the sauce. Stir to coat the meat and partially cover,You may add 2 teaspoons sugar and 1 teaspoon salt about half-way through to make it tender
The meat shrinks a lot cooked this way, but the flavor is intensified and the sauce stays thick. Cook on lower heat if you like, but the result will be more of a broth. At the end, add some more chopped onion and stir in the yogurt plus more fresh coriander to garnish.
