       1 KILO (2.2 LBS) BONELESS BEEF, THIGH  ران , CUT THIN STEAK

          or DIY by roughing it up with point of knife
now mix above with:
       2 TABLESPOONS GROUND RAW PAPAYA WITH SKIN پیسا  ہوا کچا پپیت    ا
           چھلکے سمیت
and mix it in with effort and set aside for about 3 hours before cooking. For the 
curious, this is to tenderize the meat. Perhaps a meat tenderizer could be 
substituted.

After 3 hours roast (dry fry) until color changes reddish:
       2 TABLESPOONS CORIANDER SEEDS    سابت دھنیا
       1 TABLESPOON WHITE CUMIN    سفید زیرا
       1 TABLESPOON POPPY SEED    خشخاس

       2 TABLESPOONS OF RED CHILI POWDER   پسی ہوئی لال مرچ
now mix the meat in with all of above and:
       4 TABLESPOONS YOGURT and set aside to marinate

Heat 4 TABLESPOONS MUSTARD OIL until steaming occurs and mustard odor has gone then
add  2 MEDIUM ONIONS CUT and fry them reddish brown; add the above meat preparation with 1 LEVEL TEASPOON (TO TASTE) SALT and
       2 TEACUPS OF WATER
and cook it on medium flame  آنچ , closed lid, for about 40-45 minutes. Check meat for tenderness and that all water has evaporated leaving thick gravy. When oil separates then continue stirring a bit more to further reduce and mix it all in nicely. Garnish with fresh onion cut so that it is spherically   لچھا  cut, chopped fresh mint and chopped fresh green chili. The onion could be lightly fried as an alternative to fresh.
