How to Make Beef Korma

  1. In a large pan or Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef cubes in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Set aside.
  2. Add the chopped onions to the pan and sauté until softened and golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Stir in the ginger and garlic paste and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the ground spices (turmeric, coriander, cumin, garam masala, chili powder) and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly, to toast the spices and release their aroma.
  5. Pour in the tomato puree and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Return the browned beef to the pan. Add the coconut milk, water, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  7. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for at least 60 minutes, or until the beef is incredibly tender. Stir occasionally.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with rice or naan bread.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
