1 1/2 cups chopped onion
3 Tbsp butter or cooking oil
8 cardamom pods
6 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated

1 red chili powder
1 tsp salt
8 oz plain yogurt
Preparation:
Using a pan with lid, brown the onions in the butter or oil stirring frequently until golden brown.
Remove the onions with a slotted spoon
into a blender or food processor and pulse to form a paste. Crush the cardamom and
mix into the paste.
Add the meat to the pan. Stir over medium heat. When the meat is no longer red,
add the ginger, garlic, coriander, chili powder, and salt. Stir for a few minutes, and
mix in the yogurt. Cover and cook over low heat for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
When the meat is tender, add the onion and cardamom paste. Simmer an
additional five minutes to blend the flavors.
Serve over a bed of rice and garnish with chopped cilantro or parsley.
