GOAN BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Place beef in a small pan, cover with water, and season with salt; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until beef is fork tender, 1 to 2 hours. Remove and cut beef into cubes; reserve remaining juices in the pan.
• Toast chile peppers, cinnamon stick, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, peppercorns, and cardamom pods in a dry skillet over medium-high heat until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a spice grinder and process to a fine powder. Move to a mortar and pestle, add garlic and ginger, and grind into a paste.
• Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and curry leaves; cook until the onions turn golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix in spice paste until well combined. Add beef cubes and reserved juices; bring to a boil.
• Once boiling, add potatoes, tomato, and green beans. Season with additional salt to taste. Cover, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook gently until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes. Finish by adding tamarind juice. Cook a few minutes more before serving.
