👨🍳 Istruzioni

Soak the dried plums in warm water for about 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Add the meat cubes and brown them on all sides. Then, add the pureed tomatoes, yogurt, garam masala, coriander powder, cumin powder, red chili powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well.
- 5
Cook the masala for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the oil starts to separate from the mixture.

Add about 2 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 1 hour, or until the meat is tender. Add more water if the curry becomes too dry.

Once the meat is tender, add the soaked and drained dried plums to the curry. Stir gently.
