Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pot over medium‑high heat. Season the beef and sauté in the pot for 5‑8 minutes, turning with tongs halfway through, until evenly browned. Transfer to a plate.

2. 2

   Heat the remaining oil and butter in a skillet and add the onion. Sauté gently for 15 minutes until golden and caramelized. Add garlic, ginger, chili powder, turmeric, ground coriander and cardamom and sauté for 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes, broth and sugar, and bring to a gentle boil.

3. 3

   Add the beef, cover the pot and simmer the curry over low heat for 1.5‑2 hours, or until the meat is tender and falling apart. Remove the lid for the last 20 minutes of cooking.

4. 4

   Stir in the garam masala and cream (if using) and season to taste. Sprinkle with coriander and serve with naan bread or rice.
