�         1 cup of peas- fresh

�         1 � cup of fresh tomatoes diced or chopped

�         1 cup of tomato puree

�         2 tablespoon of flour

�         Fresh parsley chopped- for garnishing

Direction for preparation:

�         In a pan, heat 2 table spoon of cooking oil and to it, add the ground beef, pepper and onions. Turn the flame down to medium and stir fry the ingredients for about 10 minutes. Make sure the beef no longer appears reddish or pink. Once you are doe, drain the beef off the excess oil and put it aside.

�         Add the garlic to this frying pan and stir for another 1 or 2 minutes until the garlic fragrance starts giving out.

�         Add little bit of water to this preparation and then add flour and the curry powder and also salt to taste to the preparation. Stir them thoroughly so that the flour does not form any lump. Do so for about 1 minute.

�         Add the broth while you stir the previous curry constantly and also the tomato puree and the peas. Keep stirring the broth until it comes to boil. This would take about 5 minutes approximately. The broth should thicken into curry form by the end of the 15 minutes.

�         Add the diced tomatoes to this curry and chilli paste to it as well. Add the yoghurt and keep stirring for 5 more minutes. Add the beef pieces that you have fried earlier to this curry. Put the lid on and let it cook in the steam for 10 more minutes or until the met have absorbed the juice from the curry.

�         Once the meat is soft enough and thoroughly coated with the juices from the curry, remove it from the heat and pour it on a serving plate

�         Garnish the preparation with freshly chopped parsleys from the top. The entire preparation is rather rich and heavy but you can still have it with a staple like rice or noodles preparations.

�         Serve the dish hot and ensure that the smell of beef has been completely eradicated through the cooking process. Also ensure the beef is thoroughly cooked and tender enough.

�         One can tweak the amount of gravy they would like but balancing the amount of water that is being added to the recipe. The recipe is rather juicy and tastes perfect when the gravy is more.
