👨🍳 Інструкції
- 1
Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the meat cubes on all sides. Remove meat and set aside.
⏱️ 8-10 minutes - 2
Add chopped onions to the pot and sauté until softened and lightly browned. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
- 3
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, turmeric, cumin, coriander, cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the spices to bloom.
- 4
Return the browned meat to the pot. Pour in the beef broth or water, ensuring the meat is mostly submerged. Season with salt and black pepper.
- 5
Bring the stew to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for at least 1 hour 15 minutes, or until the meat is very tender. Stir occasionally and add more liquid if needed.
⏱️ 1 hour 15 minutes - 6
While the stew simmers, prepare the malawax. In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Gradually add water, whisking until you have a smooth, thin batter, similar to crepe batter. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
- 7
Heat a lightly greased non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Pour a thin layer of batter onto the hot surface, swirling to create a thin pancake. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
⏱️ 2-3 minutes per malawax - 8
Repeat with the remaining batter, greasing the pan lightly between each malawax. Stack the cooked malawax and cover to keep them warm and soft.

Once the stew is tender, taste and adjust seasoning. Remove cardamom pods and cinnamon stick before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro.
- 10
Serve the Iskudar hot with the freshly made Malawax on the side for dipping or scooping.
