Cooking preparations:
For a minimum of four hours soak the chickpeas in water. You can also soak the chickpeas overnight. This is fine too. Per each cup of chickpeas use three cups of water.
Cooking directions:
- This can be prepared a few hours before cooking:
- Soak one cup of chickpeas in three cups of water.
- Step by step directions:
- Peel and dice the onion, garlic, fresh ginger root and fresh turmeric root.
- Wash and de-seed the four mild green chilies and slice them thinly.
- Take a big pot and heat the two tablespoons of coconut oil. When heated briefly fry the cumin and fennel seeds and add the cinnamon stick.
- Then mix the ginger root, turmeric root and chilies under.
- Mix the beef cubes under and cover with the spices.
- When the meat is cooked through, add the drained chickpeas and add a cup of water and the teaspoon of fine Himalayan salt.
- Wash the tomatoes, cut them into cubes and mix them under. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes!
- In the mean time half, de-seed, slice and peel the buttercup. Prepare into mouth-sized cubes. Mix the cubes under the curry with a teaspoon of garam masala. Cook everything together for another 10 minutes or until soft.
- During this time wash, spin dry and chop the fresh coriander. Before serving, sprinkle the fresh coriander on top and mix it under.
This celebration of flavors goes well with white Basmati rice or Naan bread.
