Wash and dry the meat, cut it into small cubes, and season with salt. Heat oil and butter in a pan. Add 1 tablespoon of cardamom powder and fry briefly. Add the meat and sear it on all sides. Add the chili, turmeric, and tomato puree and stir well. Finally, add the yogurt and water, stir, and simmer over low heat for about 15 minutes. Season to taste and sprinkle with the remaining cardamom to serve. Basmati rice goes well with this sauce. Tip 1: Don’t add the water all at once so it doesn’t become too watery. It’s better to use 100 ml less than you end up with a watered-down sauce. Tip 2: It’s important to simmer it first before adding salt and any spices you may have previously used, as the flavor only really develops through simmering.
