This Achar Ghost is made with Shan Masala in an Instant Pot. It is juicy zesty, hot, and packed with a wonderful combination of flavor!
Equipment
- 1 instant pot
- 1 mesh colander
- 1 food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 packet of Achar Ghost Shan
- 3/4 tablespoon ginger paste
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 2.5 cups whole milk yogurt
- 2 pounds boneless chuck roast beef
- 6 Roma tomatoes - around 600 grams
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1/4 - 1/2 sliced jalapeño
- Basmati rice - for serving
Instructions
- Put your instant pot on sear/saute and set on high heat. Add 1/2 cup of vegetable oil.
- To the pot, add 2.5 cups of yogurt, 3/4 tablespoon ginger paste, 3 minced garlic cloves, and the full packet of Achar Ghost Shan masala. Mix together and allow to simmer while you prepare your beef.
- Cut your beef into 1.5-inch cubes, add it to the pot and mix. Allow it to sear for about 5 minutes, stirring periodically.
- Put the lid on your instant pot, set it to pressure cook, and cook it on high for 40 minutes with a 10-minute natural release.
- Slice your 6 roma tomatoes into 8ths and pulse them in a food processor or blender until slightly chunky. Do not blend all the way.
- Transfer your tomato mix into a mesh colander over the sink and shake it gently from side to side until most of the juice has left. Set aside.
- Prepare your 3 tablespoons of squeezed lemon juice and your jalapeño slices.
- Once your instant pot has completed the 10 minute natural release, remove the lid and set it on sear/saute on high heat. You will now stir in the lemon juice, jalapeño slices, and tomato mix.
- Keep your pot on high heat and stir periodically for about 20 minutes or until the desired consistency is reached. You want to allow a lot of the liquid to cook out so that it is not runny.Serve and enjoy!
Notes
