BEEF KORMA

السلام عليكم
Peace be upon you

Ingredients

1. 700gm beef (cut into chunks - cari yang batang pinang lembut sikit)
2. 1/2 - 3/4 cup korma powder (depend on you)
3. 1/2 cup vegetable oil
4. 5-6 shallots * pounded
5. 3 garlic cloves * pounded
6. 5 cm ginger * pounded
7. 1 stalk lemongrass * crushed
8. 3 star anise*
9. 1 Cinnamon stick*
10. 1 - 1 1/4 tbsp salt (depend on you)
11. 1/4 Ajinomoto (seasoning powder)
12. 1 cup coconut milk (depend on you. I tak nak lemak sangat coz kolestrol)
13. 2 potatoes (devide to 4 or halved, depend on you)
14. 2 red onions (devide to 4 or halved, depend on you)
15. 1-2 tbsp pounded toasted coconut (kerisik)
16. Enough Water
17. Coriander leaves for garnish

Method

1. Heat oil in a wok. Stir in the * ingredients till fragrance and brown. Pour in the korma power (mix with water and turn into paste first) and cook for 10-15 minutes. Pour in a cup of water and cook for another 20 minutes (supaya rempah kurma betul-betul masak).

2. Add in beef  and mix them well. Add salt, ajinomoto, kerisik and 1 cup of water, stir them well and cover the wok with the lid to tender beef. If  the gravy too dry you may add more water, cook for half an hour or till the beef tender.

3. Once the beef tender, add in coconut milk and potatoes, cook for 15-20 minutes, gradually stir and add in the onions. Cook for another 10 minutes and ready to serve. If the gravy too  thick you can add in 1/4 cup of water. Serve in the bowl and garnish with coriander leave.

Note :

1. Daging paling baik ialah daging batang pinang sebab ianya lembut dan sesuai untuk masak kurma sebab tak akan mengambil masa yang banyak. Since I tak dapat cari batang pinang dek kerana orang semua dok pakat serbu beli daging due to Raya Qurban tomorrow, so daging batang pinang habis. So beli lah daging pejal. Harga sekilo daging batang pinang antara RM27.00 - RM28.00 ikut kawasan. Daging pejal RM25.00 - RM26.00 sekilo. (The best meat for Korma is sirloin steak).

Happy Eid Ul Adha to Muslims and may Allah bless you all and happy holiday to the rest.

Love,

Honey
