Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the turmeric powder, crushed cardamom pods, whole cloves, and cinnamon stick. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly, until the spices are aromatic.

Add the beef cubes to the pot and brown them on all sides. This will take about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in the water or beef broth, ensuring the beef is mostly submerged. Bring the liquid to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it cook for 1 hour, or until the beef is tender.

Add the cubed potatoes and carrots to the pot. Stir to combine, cover, and continue to simmer for another 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.

Season the stew with salt to taste. If the stew is too thin, you can simmer it uncovered for a few minutes to thicken slightly.
