How to Make Mughlai Beef Curry Mughlai Frezi

  1. In a large heavy-bottomed pot, bring the coconut milk to a boil. Add the beef cubes.
  2. Cover and simmer over low heat for 40 minutes, or until the beef is almost tender.
  3. Carefully remove the beef cubes and set aside in a large bowl. Skim off any excess oil from the coconut milk and pour it over the beef to keep it moist.
  4. Clean and dry the pot. Return it to the stove and heat the ghee over medium-low heat.
  5. Fry the onion slices and minced garlic until light golden brown (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  6. Add all the spices to the ghee in the pot. Fry for 1 minute over low heat, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
  7. Add the beef cubes (reserving any remaining coconut liquid), and tomato paste. Fry until the mixture turns a rich brown color (about 8-10 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  8. Stir in the yogurt, salt, and fried onions. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. If the curry becomes too thick, add a little of the reserved coconut liquid as needed.
  10. Remove from heat, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve hot with rice and naan bread. Enjoy!
