A flavorful Beef Alu Jhol made with tender beef, cubed potatoes, and a blend of whole and ground spices, simmered to perfection. Serve hot with rice for a hearty meal.
1: Heat oil in a pot and temper whole spices until fragrant.
2: Add chopped onion and salt. Fry for a few minutes, then add ginger and garlic paste.
3: Add ground spices with about 1/4 cup water to prevent burning. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
4: Add the meat and stir-fry uncovered for a couple of minutes, then cover. Cook over low to medium.
5: After 15 minutes, the meat will release water. Gradually add more water as needed to cook the meat. Cover and cook, checking occasionally.
6: When the meat is 80-90% cooked, add the potatoes with some more water.
7: Total water used should be 4.5 cups — 2.5 cups for cooking the meat, and the remaining for the potatoes and gravy.
8: Sprinkle green chilies and cilantro.
9: Serve hot with rice.
