Meat Curry

This has to be my favorite recipe. You can use it to cook chicken or beef or mutton and it GOOD.  It really reminds me of home.

Ingredients:
1 kg Chicken/beef/lamb
2 Onions, sliced
2" Cinnamon
4 Cardamom
4 Cloves
2 Bay leaves
1 tsp Turmeric
2 tsp Garlic paste
2 tsp Ginger paste
1 tsp Red chili powder
1 tsp Coriander powder
1 tsp Cumin Powder
Salt to taste
1 C Water
2 Tb oil

Instructions:
Heat oil, and fry the onions until light brow.
Add all the spices, ginger, garlic, bay leaves and salt and fry for a while. Now I like to add 1-2 Tbs of water and bhuno the spices for a while. I repeat the process at least 2 -3 times.
Then add the meat and mix well. Fry on med heat.
Cover and cook until the water released is reduced.

* Note
When using chicken, cook until the meat is done, simmer until oil emerges.

When using beef/ mutton, add 1 cup of water and mix well. Let the meat simmer on low heat until the meat is tender and the water is down to a thick gravy.
