Ingredients:

500g beef, sliced into thin strips
2 tomatoes, blanched, peeled and chopped
1 onion, chopped
200g green peas
3 garlic cloves
400g yoghurt
15g ginger, crushed
2 cloves
1 pinch of saffron
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp oil
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste
chopped peanuts, to garnish
ground coriander seeds, to garnish

Method:

In a bowl, combine the beef and yoghurt. Season with a little salt, cover and refrigerate over night.

When ready to cook, heat the oil in a pan. Drain the meat (reserve the marinade), add to the hot oil and fry for 3 minutes. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon then add the onion, ginger and garlic to the remaining oil. Add the saffron, cinnamon, cumin, black pepper and cloves. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Now add the tomatoes and reserved marinade. Stir to combine, bring to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes before returning the meat to the pan. Bring back to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, covered, over low heat.

Stir in the peas and continue cooking for 5 minutes. Serve hot, accompanied by white rice and garnished with chopped peanuts and ground coriander seeds.
