A little plain flour
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely sliced
4 green cardamom pods
2 bay leaves
1 whole clove of garlic, peeled
Water
2 teaspoons curry powder
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1 small onion, finely chopped
4 cloves crushed garlic
2 inches of grated ginger root
1 finely chopped green chilli
1 cup of garam masala gravy (mix 2 tablespoons of garam masala paste with a cup of water to make the gravy)
4 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh cilantro

Method

Roll the beef in a little plain flour
Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a pan over a medium heat
Fry the beef in small batches at a time until it is brown
Put the beef, sliced onion, cardamom pods, bay leaves and whole garlic clove into a casserole, cover with water, put the casserole lid on and cook for 2 hours at 390F (200C), stirring every 30 minutes
Make a runny paste of the curry powder, mustard powder and chilli powder with water
Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and fry the chopped onion until it is clear (about 8 minutes) then add the crushed garlic, grated ginger and green chilli and stir fry on medium for a further 5 minutes
Add the curry powder, mustard powder and chilli powder paste and stir in and fry for a further 30 seconds
Add the cooked beef from the casserole to the pan
Add the garam masala gravy and simmer for 5 minutes or until the beef is hot again, stirring occasionally
If needed, add some juice from the casserole to prevent the curry becoming too thick or dry
Now add the finely chopped fresh cilantro and cook for a further minute
