For the Beef:
[SIZE=14.6667px]2lbs inside round beef roast, cut into 1 inch cubes[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]3 tbsp ghee[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]1 medium onion, sliced[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]1 medium carrot, sliced[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]3-4 green chiles, roasted & diced[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]4 cloves of garlic, minced[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]1 inch piece of ginger, diced[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]16 oz canned tomatoes[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]16 oz frozen spinach or kale[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]2 tbsp homemade curry powder[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]2 tsp your favorite pepper powder[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]2 inch piece of cinnamon stick[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]2 cups beef broth[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]2 cups whole milk[/SIZE]
[SIZE=14.6667px]Melt 3 tbsp ghee in a large pot over medium high heat. Add 1 tbsp curry powder and cook till fragrant (about 1 minute). Add the beef, carrot and onion and cook for 5-7 minutes until onion is translucent and the meat is no longer pink. Add the ginger, garlic, tomatoes, pepper powder and the cinnamon stick to the pot, cook for 2 minutes. [/SIZE]
Add the beef broth and bring to a simmer. Once a simmer is reached reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until the meat is tender - about an hour. Once meat is tender, remove lid and cook on high heat to evaporate most of the remaining liquid, about 15 minutes. When pan is almost dry, add the remaining tablespoon curry powder, green chiles, spinach and the milk to the pot. Reduce heat to low and cook, partially covered for another hour or until curry is thick.

[SIZE=14.6667px]Add the ghee to the flour and mix with your hands until the mixture looks crumbly like bread crumbs. Add the water a tbsp at a time until a dough forms. Knead the dough for a few minutes and then set aside to rest. [/SIZE]
