About this recipe

I only post recipes that I have tried and verified and are good to my taste — all taste may vary.

Deeply browned onions are the base of a great masala — rushing them gives a thin, sharp sauce.

Ingredients

Method

  1. 01

    Marinate meat in yogurt, half the garam masala, turmeric and salt for 1 hour.

  2. 02

    Fry whole spices in oil, then onions slowly 15 minutes until deep brown.

  3. 03

    Add garlic, ginger, chili and ground spices for 1 minute, then tomatoes; cook until oil separates.

  4. 04

    Add meat and water, cover and simmer 1 1/2–2 hours until tender.

  5. 05

    Finish with remaining garam masala and cilantro; serve with rice or naan.
