STEP BY STEP

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oil or ghee in a heavy pot and fry the onion until golden.

  2. 2

    Add the beef and ginger garlic paste. Cook over medium-high heat for 8–10 minutes until the meat is lightly browned.

  3. 3

    Stir in the TAVAAZO Nihari Masala, then add the hot water.

  4. 4

    Cover and simmer very gently for 2–2½ hours, or until the beef is fork-tender.

  5. 5

    Slowly pour in the flour mixture while stirring. Simmer uncovered for 20–30 minutes until the gravy is glossy and lightly thickened.

  6. 6

    Taste and adjust the consistency with hot water if needed. Rest for 10 minutes so the oil rises naturally.

  7. 7

    Garnish with ginger, coriander, green chilli and lemon, then serve with warm naan.
