Ingredients:
500 grams beef cut into cubes
4 tablespoon yogurt, beaten
1 teaspoon ginger paste
1 teaspoon garlic paste
1 inch cinnamon stick

8 - black peppercorns
6 - cloves
1 level teaspoon garam masala
1 level teaspoon chilli powder
1.5 level teaspoon salt
300 grams fresh or frozen spinach
200 grams masoor dal
1 medium onion skinned and finely chopped
1\2 inch ginger, cut into matchstick
1\4 cup oil

How to Cook:
1. Add yogurt to meat and mix well. Add garlic and ginger paste to meat. Add all the whole and ground spices including salt. Stir well to coat the meat and mix all the spices. Cover and leave to marinate for about 1 hour. 2. While the meat is marinating, thaw the frozen spinach if used, or thoroughly wash and finely chopped the fresh spinach.
3. Put the marinated meat in a heavy based saucepan. Cook over low heat for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until all the moisture has evaporated and the meat half cooked.
4. Wash dal in a few changes of water, until water runs clear. Then leave it to soak for about 25-30 minutes.
