- Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 15 to 20 minutes more.
- Stir in the garlic, green chillies, ginger paste, cardamom pods, cloves and cinnamon sticks. Cook and stir for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, until the garlic begins to brown.
- Stir the cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic granules, cayenne pepper and water into the onions. Simmer until most of the water has evaporated and the mixture has thickened.
- Stir in the beef stewing steak and cook on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

made this curry, flavours were stunning, only negative was the beef was tough, next time i will fry the beef first to see if that makes a difference - 18 Oct 2014
This is an excellent recipe. I used garlic paste in a jar rather than powder and as I like a bit more flavour, I added around half a teaspoon more of the spices. I would say that the end result is 4 large portions. - 30 Dec 2013
