directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine meat and yogurt and set aside.

Step 2

In a non-stick pan, toast cumin and coriander seeds until fragrant (about 5 minutes over medium heat), watching constantly to keep from burning. Crush in a mortar along with cardamom seeds.

Step 3

In a food processor, combine one of the two onions with the ground spices, almonds, pepper, cashews, garlic, ginger, cloves, cinnamon, and water.

Step 4

Process until thoroughly combined. Set aside.

Step 5

Slice the second onion and brown in a fry pan over medium heat with a splash of sunflower oil.

Step 6

Add the spice and almond mixture to the pan, as well as raisins and honey, and reduce heat to low.

Step 7

Add beef chunks to sauce, stir to coat, and cover the pan and let simmer on low heat for 3½ hours, stirring occasionally.

Step 8

Add water as needed while cooking, but aim for a sauce that is thick.

Step 9

Serve very hot with basmati rice, naan bread, and a green salad.
