1 t. ground cumin
2 t. coriander
2 1/4 t. turmeric

Cut meat into 1” cubes. Mix spices (the ingredients listed from paprika up to and including bouillon cubes) in a bowl with water until mix is runny. Cut onions into quarters and fry with butter until tender. Add garlic and cook for a few secs. Add spices to onion and garlic and cook for 10 mins. Add meat and mix well. Add salt and pepper and cook for 5 mins. Pour boiling water to just below level of meat and cover and simmer for at least four hours. Add 2 bay leaves 2 hrs. before eating. Mix cornstarch with warm water and add to curry about 1/2 hr. before eating to thicken sauce. The Skinny: Use lean beef. The remaining ingredients are just mostly spices, onion and garlic.
