Cook

Ready In
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add 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 chiles, ginger paste, cardamom seeds, cloves, and cinnamon sticks. Cook and stir until the garlic begins to brown, 3 to 5 more minutes.
- Mix cumin, coriander, turmeric, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, and water into the onion mixture. Simmer until most of the water has evaporated and the mixture has thickened.
- Stir in beef chuck pieces until coated with spice mixture; simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the beef is cooked through and tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Footnotes
- Editor's Note:
- Use 5 to 6 small green chile peppers, such as Thai chiles; if they're unavailable, substitute 2 to 3 serrano chiles or to taste. Use rubber gloves when chopping chile peppers.
- Slow Cooker Directions:
- Follow steps 1 and 2. Place the onions, spice mixture, and 1/2 cup water in the slow cooker; reserve the remaining water. Add the beef and cook on Low for 8 to 10 hours or on High for 4 to 6 hours (you may brown the beef in the skillet first, if you wish). Add reserved water if you like a thinner consistency of curry.
- Pressure Cooker Directions:
- Cook the onions and spices in the pressure cooker instead of the skillet; add the beef in Step 4 and seal the lid. Bring to high pressure and cook until beef is tender, about 40 minutes. Allow pressure to release naturally after cooking.
- Easy Cleanup
- Try using a liner in your slow cooker for easier cleanup

This curry did not work for my family, did not like the overall taste at all, all I could taste was Turmeric. I really think this needs to be reduced by at least 1/2 to allow the other flavors ...

This is a very good dish. I didn't alter it that much and it is definitely a keeper. I like lots of flavor, so I tend to interpret teaspoons as largely heaping teaspoons for spices. I used a ...

I really lovd this, although the meat wasn't as tender as I would have liked. Next time I'll simmer at least 2 hours. I halfed the cayenne and it was still pretty spicy for us and we like heat...

This was terrific. I used about half a jalapeño instead of the Thai chiles; the dish has a really nice mix of warm heat from the cayenne, and a more biting heat from the fresh chile. I omitted t...

Great recipe. Very authentic. The only thing I added was some salt.

Very tasty. I'd recommend quickly searing the beef over a high heat before starting on the onions and setting it to one side until ready to add again. Seared beef adds even more depth to the fla...

I used 2 Serrano chilies instead of the others and I omitted the cayenne. It was spicy enough that way. I used about 1/2 c. more water as I made it in a Dutch oven and the first cup of water ev...
