How to cook Beef and Spinach Curry

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter)
• 2 cloves garlic, crushed
• 1 large onion, finely sliced
• 2 serrano peppers, thinly sliced
• 2 whole cloves, bruised
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon chile powder
• 1 teaspoon turmeric
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
• 1 1/2 pounds beef tender loin, cubed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped tomatoes
• 2/3 cup coconut milk
• 1 (10 ounce) bag spinach
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Preparation:

1. Heat the ghee in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the serrano, and continue to cook for another 3 minutes. Season with the cloves, garam masala, coriander, chile powder, turmeric, and cumin, cook for 2 to 3 more minutes to release the flavor.
2. Stir in the beef and salt, cook for 3 minutes more. Add the tomatoes, coconut milk, and spinach. Bring to a simmer, then cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Uncover, then stir in the lemon juice, and cook for 10 more minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened.
