SILKY BEEF KORMA



Silky Beef Korma image

I bought myself a "hot and spicy" cookbook when I was a teenager and first learning to cook, and this was one of the recipes in it. I didn't try it for a while because I was intimidated by what looked to me like a long list of ingredients, but when I did finally try it, I was so glad I did!

Categories     Curries

Time 1h20m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 tablespoon coriander seed
1 tablespoon cumin seed

6 whole cloves
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup blanched slivered almond
8 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped gingerroot
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 lbs beef stew meat or 2 lbs lamb stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes

1/2 cup water
3/4 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup plain yogurt

1/4 teaspoon garam masala
2 tablespoons freshly snipped cilantro or 2 tablespoons parsley

Steps:

  • In a blender, combine coriander seed, cumin seed, cardamom seed, crushed red pepper, and whole cloves.

Tips:

  • To make the beef more tender, marinate it in yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, and spices for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to cook the beef korma. This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the beef from sticking.
  • Brown the beef in batches to prevent the pot from becoming overcrowded. This will help to create a nice sear on the beef and prevent it from stewing.
  • Use a variety of spices to flavor the beef korma. Common spices used in beef korma include cumin, coriander, turmeric, paprika, and garam masala.
  • Adjust the amount of chili powder or cayenne pepper to taste. Beef korma can be mild, medium, or spicy, depending on your preference.
  • Serve beef korma with rice, naan, or roti. You can also serve it with a side of yogurt or raita.

Conclusion:

Beef korma is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its tender beef, creamy sauce, and aromatic spices, beef korma is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give beef korma a try.
