📝 Ingredients

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 kg beef (bone-in pieces preferred)
  • 1/2 cup mustard oil (or vegetable oil)
  • 3 medium onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp garlic paste
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 cardamom pods
  • 4 cloves
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1 tsp whole cumin seeds

Spices:

  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 2 tsp red chili powder (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 1 tsp cumin powder
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala (for finishing)
  • Optional: 1 tsp sugar (to caramelize onions)

Optional additions:

  • 2–3 medium potatoes, halved
  • 2–3 green chilies (for aroma and extra heat)
  • Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

🍽️ Instructions

1. Prepare the Beef

  • Wash and drain the beef pieces thoroughly. Pat dry and set aside.

2. Sauté the Onions

  • Heat mustard oil in a heavy-bottomed pot until it begins to smoke (this removes the raw smell).
  • Reduce heat, add sugar (if using), and let it caramelize.
  • Add sliced onions and sauté until golden brown.

3. Add Aromatics and Spices

  • Add bay leaves, cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, and cumin seeds. Stir for a few seconds.
  • Add ginger and garlic paste. Fry for 2–3 minutes.
  • Add turmeric, chili, coriander, and cumin powders. Cook until oil separates from the masala.

4. Cook the Beef

  • Add the beef pieces and salt. Stir to coat with the spices.
  • Fry (koshano) on medium heat for 15–20 minutes, stirring frequently until the beef is well-browned and begins to release its juices.

5. Simmer and Cook

  • Add 1 to 1.5 cups hot water. Cover and simmer on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, until the meat is tender.
  • (Optional: Add potatoes halfway through cooking.)

6. Final Touch

  • Once the beef is tender and gravy is rich, stir in garam masala and green chilies. Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes.
  • Adjust salt and thickness of gravy to your preference.

👩‍🍳 Tips & Variations

  • For deeper flavor, marinate beef with spices and onion paste for 1 hour before cooking.
  • Use a pressure cooker to reduce cooking time to about 30–40 minutes.
  • Add mustard seeds or yogurt for regional flavor variations.
  • Garnish with fried onions and fresh coriander for a festive touch.

  • Steamed white rice or polao
  • Paratha, luchi, or naan
  • Begun bharta or mashed potatoes
