Ingredients

• 500 grams Beef (boneless, cubed)
• 2 medium Onions (finely sliced)
• 3 medium Tomatoes (pureed)
• 100 grams Yogurt (full-fat, whisked)
• 1 tablespoon Garlic paste
• 1 tablespoon Ginger paste
• 2 pieces Green chilies (slit lengthwise)
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 2 teaspoons Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Garam masala
• 10 pieces Almonds (blanched and ground into a paste)
• 3 tablespoons Cooking oil or ghee
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro leaves (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 250 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Heat the oil or ghee in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions and sauté, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the ginger paste, garlic paste, and slit green chilies, and cook for 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 5

Add the turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 6

Add the beef cubes and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is lightly browned and coated in the spices.

Step 7

Stir in the pureed tomatoes and cook for 5-7 minutes until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

Step 8

Lower the heat and add the whisked yogurt gradually, stirring continuously to ensure it doesn’t curdle.

Step 9

Add the almond paste and mix well to incorporate it into the curry base.

Step 10

Pour in the water, cover the pan with a lid, and let the curry simmer over low heat for 30-35 minutes, or until the beef is tender and the gravy thickens. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 11

Sprinkle garam masala over the curry, mix well, and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped cilantro leaves and serve hot with naan, paratha, or steamed rice.
