Ingredients
4 tbsp sunflower oil
800g/1lb 12oz beef braising steak, cut into 2.5cm/1in pieces
2 onions, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 chillies, finely chopped, plus extra to taste
2.5cm/1in piece fresh root ginger
4 tsp ground cumin
4 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp ground turmeric
2 x 400g/14oz can chopped tomatoes
2 tsp garam masala
200g/7oz natural yoghurt
small handful fresh chopped coriander (optional)
Method
Heat half of the oil in a frying pan and fry beef short rib for 4-5 minutes, or until browned all over.
Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the onions for five minutes, then add the garlic, chilli and ginger and fry for another 2-3 minutes. Add the spices and fry for another minute, then tip the mixture into the slow cooker.
Add the chopped tomatoes to the slow cooker, then fill one of the empty cans with water and add the water to the slow cooker.
Stir everything together, pressing down so that everything is covered in liquid and cook for 8-10 hours on low.
About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the garam masala and yoghurt and season to taste with salt and a little more chilli. Cook for a further 30 minutes, then stir in the coriander.
