Worked out from the ingredients. How we work out our numbers

Ingredients

  • 400 g Beef chuck
  • 200 g Onions
  • 20 g Ginger
  • 5 Garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander powder
  • 0.5 tsp Turmeric powder
  • 2 whole Red chillies

Method

  1. 1

    Cut beef into 3cm cubes. Heat 2 tbsp oil in large heavy pot over high heat. Sear beef in batches, 3 minutes per batch, until deeply browned. Remove and set aside.

  2. 2

    Slice onions thinly. In same pot, cook onions over medium heat for 15 minutes until deeply golden and caramelized. Add minced ginger and garlic, cook 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add cumin, coriander, and turmeric powders. Toast for 1 minute. Break up red chillies and add. Return beef to pot and stir well.

  4. 4

    Add just 200ml water. Cover and cook over low heat for 40 minutes. The sauce should reduce significantly and become dark and glossy, coating the beef.

  5. 5

    Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot with rice, ensuring each portion gets some of the dark, reduced sauce.
