Beef in spicy yogurt sauce

Ingredients for 3 servings:

• 500 g beef, diced
• 2 onions, diced
• 1 ½ tbsp ginger, grated
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 2 tsp coriander, ground
• 1 tsp spice mix (Garam Masala)
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper
• ½ tsp, heaped salt
• 3 bay leaves
• 10 cardamom pods, green
• 12 carnations
• 250 g yogurt
• some oil
• e.g. crème fraîche

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Heat the oil in a medium-sized saucepan and sauté the onions, garlic, and ginger for about 5 minutes. Add the bay leaves, cloves, and cardamom pods and sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Now add the meat pieces, coriander, garam masala, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything thoroughly and sauté until browned, then add the yogurt. Cover and simmer over low heat for 60-90 minutes (depending on the thickness of the meat pieces), stirring occasionally. Finally, season with salt and garnish with a little crème fraîche, if desired. We serve this with basmati rice and red lentil dal.
