Ingredients

  • 1.1 lb (500 g) lamb beef or mutton, bone in
  • 2 tomatoes chopped
  • 1 large onion chopped
  • 7 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 teaspoon ginger minced
  • 2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon red chilli powder or to taste
  • 2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 8.5 oz (250 g) green beans
  • 5 tablespoon oil adjust to preference, if needed
  • Coriander for garnish

Instructions

  • Quite simply place all your ingredients into a pot (excluding the green beans, oil and garnishing ingredients), add ½ cup of water and then cover. Turn the heat to low and allow this to cook until the meat is 90% cooked, about 1hr for lamb, 1.5hr for mutton and 2-2.5hrs for beef. If you are cooking with mutton or beef, you may need to add some more water - if the mixture starts to look like it's about to catch at the bottom of the pan, add ½ cup water as needed.
  • Uncover. You'll see that the tomatoes and meat have released a lot of moisture. Add your green beans, turn the heat to high and begin to dry out the curry, stirring continuously, until you reach your desired level of gravy consistency. I like mine with a thick and substantial gravy, but you can dry yours down till it's very dry, like a bhuna curry if you wish.
  • Once you're at your desired consistency, add your oil. Now, sauté your curry for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • Once you've sautéed it, check your green beans for doneness. I like my green beans with a bit of a bite so I left it here, but if it's not yet softened to your liking, add a splash of water, cover your pot and turn the heat to low till the beans are cooked to your liking.
  • Garnish with coriander (I didn't have any!) and fresh chillies and serve hot!
