This looks wonderful and I really want to try it. However, the recipe needs some fine tuning. In the instructions you say to add ginger and green Chile, but those aren’t listed in the ingredients. In the ingredients list you say 6 tsp spices... which spices?? And when do you add the ghee? I hope you can answer these questions so I can try this out. Thank you!
Sorry it was just a typo. Now I have mentioned in the recipe.
Hi Corrie,
Your recipes look fabulous. I love Indian food so finding your blog is incredible
luck. I clicked on the recipe Indian Punjabi Beef Curry. The fist ingredient is 2#
of beef. You do not say anything about the size of beef that is necessary to go
into the pot.. I have never made this dish so I am not familiar with what stovetop
recipes call for. I think that the recipe would call for cubed pieces of beef. But
there are no instructions regarding the size. Also,what cut of beef do you
recommend? Beef chuck? Beef short ribs? Can you be more specific, please.
Thank you.
I had the same question Maria, so I searched for other recipes. They call for beef chuck (or lamb) cut into 1/2” cubes.
It’s a beef curry recipe that’s why beef is used in this recipe. Now I have mentioned about the use of beef chuck roast in the recipe.
Now I have mentioned about the cut and size of beef in the recipe. Thanks for your appreciation for my blog.
