BEEF CURRY WITH GRAPEFRUIT

Preparation Method :

• Garam Masala Heat a heavy-based frying pan over very low heat. Add all the garam masala ingredients to the pan and toast until aromatic.
• Shake the pan and take care not to let the spices burn. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind to a fine powder. Measure out 2 teaspoons for the curry. Store the rest in a screwtop jar for future use.
• Beef Curry Heat the oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the cloves and cardamom pods and let sizzle for a few seconds.
• Add the onions and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until very soft and pale brown, 20-30 minutes.
• Stir in the garlic, ginger, turmeric, chilli powder, cumin, coriander, and salt. Simmer for one minute, then add the beef and cook, stirring frequently, for 10 minutes.
• Add the ketchup and ghee and simmer 2-3 minutes. Add the water, cover, and simmer until the beef is almost tender, about ½ hours.
• After the curry has been cooking for 1 ½ hours, add the grapefruit zest and juice and the garam masala and simmer, uncovered, until the beef is very tender, about 30 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with pieces of grapefruit flesh and serve hot.
