Was very skeptical about making this due to the one review but I had all the ingredients so I moved ahead with it. It turned out really well I thought. Lots of seasoning and flavor and the beef was super tender. I'll make it again.

Made this dish, though the first review was terrible. I added flour to thicken it at the very end and it is a very delicious curry. I'll be making this dish again. Thank you so much for sharing.
first of all that last review was rude but in your method try browning the beef first like u would with a braise or a stew then remove and cook out the seasoning in the drippings followed by the veg this will add much more depth to the flavout but the seasoning ratio is spot on

I don't know what this watery cumin water was supposed to taste like, but it sure wasn't very good. What a waste of food.
