Introduce the recipe and ingredients, mentioning the use of beef instead of mutton.

Use a pressure cooker for faster cooking, adding 1 kg of bone-in beef and 3 finely chopped onions.

Add 1 tablespoon of salt and 1.5 liters of hot water to the pressure cooker.

Bring to a boil, skimming off any foam that rises to the top.

Seal the pressure cooker and cook for 20-22 minutes, adjusting time based on meat tenderness.

After cooking, check the meat for tenderness and set aside the broth.

In a traditional clay pot, add 1 cup of whipped yogurt and approximately 0.75 cup of ghee or oil.

Stir in 0.5 tablespoon turmeric, 1 tablespoon red chili powder, and 1 tablespoon coriander powder.

Add the garlic water (from grinding 8-10 cloves) to the yogurt mixture and mix well.

Add the partially cooked beef to the yogurt mixture and sauté for 5-7 minutes to incorporate flavors.

Add approximately 0.5 kg of quartered potatoes and cover to cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes.

Check the potatoes for doneness and adjust seasoning with salt if needed.

Add 5-6 cloves and 2 cardamom pods for aroma and flavor.

Let the mixture simmer on low heat for an additional 5-7 minutes to combine flavors.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves before serving.
