2.50 lbs boneless beef, cut into small stew pieces

a handful of chana daal

2 large onions, roughly chopped

10 serrano peppers, roughly chopped

4 cinnamon sticks

1 tsp garam masala

½ tsp turmeric

2 tsp salt

2 tsp cayenne pepper

½ tsp cumin powder

1 tbsp ginger garlic paste

¾ cup sour cream

⅓ cup oil

½ cup cilantro, roughly chopped

Put instant pot on saute mode. Add oil when the screen says hot.

Saute 1/2 the onions, cinnamon sticks and serranos until onions are translucent.

Add the beef and saute for 2 minutes.

Add ½ the salt, cayenne, haldi, zeera, gg paste

Once well mixed, add in chana daal and ½ cup of water, less if you're comfortable with it.

Put on high pressure mode for 30 min Release pressure and open, dry up all the water using saute mode

Cool down the meat completely

In a food processor-process the rest of the onion, serranos and cilantro.

Note: if you have a small food processor, add the sour cream and keep this mixture aside.

Large food processor: process the sour cream, meat and onion mixture together.

Small food processor: process the meat in batches with small amounts of the sour cream & onion mixture

Knead the meat mixture very well. Make meat patties according to your size preference. Use oiled hands if needed and make sure that you dont have any cracks in your patties.

Fry immediately or freeze for later use. (check out my shami blog post for ideas)
