Beef Korma Haven

I found this recipe at :http://adventuressheart.blogspot.com/2011/08/beef-korma-afghan-style.html
I made it in Crock pot and it was delicious...

Beef Korma

2 tbsp Oil (and 1 tbsp butter to brown meat) 

1 tbsp fresh chopped garlic
1 tbsp fresh ginger

1 finely Chopped onions

4 tbsp yogurt (I added 6)

2 tsp fresh corriander 

1 green chili chopped

1 tsp garam masala

1 tsp salt (to taste)

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp tomato paste

2 whole tomatoes (from can or fresh with skin removed by quick blanching in hot water) 

1. First I started with a pot and butter, heat the butter and add a drop of oil and once it's hot adding all the stewing beef to brown on all sides. Don't be afraid just let it brown until you see brown bits on the bottom of the pan.
2. Remove the beef onto a plate.

3. Add some more oil if necessary to the pot and then onions and sautee until they look clear on medium (keep an eye on it, I burnt the first batch!)
4. Next to go in is the spices and they toast for a few seconds, then the fresh garlic and ginger (lots of!)

5. Meat gets added back in and finally the yogurt gets fried in the pot a bit until things look a little brown.

6. Add the chopped tomato and some liquid to cook. Simmer and let cook until meat is tender. 

I cooked it for 1h on high setting then reduced to "slow cook". I did use more coriander and ginger then in original recipe.
