    Heat the mustard oil in a pan and fry the onion for 6 minutes until softened, then add the garlic cloves and fresh ginger and fry for 1 minute.

  2. 2

    Add the beef and brown for 8 minutes, then stir in the ground turmeric and chilli powder.

  3. 3

    Add 800ml water, cover and simmer for 50 minutes, until the beef is nearly tender.
