Tips:
1. If you wish you can cook in the same frying pan you made the masala but beef become tender if cooked in pressure cooker and take less cooking time. You can also prepare masala in pressure cooker but I prefer to make masala in non stick frying pan as it takes less oil for frying onions.
2. After making the onion masala add beef cubes and spinach, salt, bay leaves and 2 cups of water, mix them together, cover the pan and cook on medium heat for 25 to 30 minutes or until beef become tender. Then add grated ginger green chilies and garam masala and cook until you have the desired consistency then add 1 tablespoon of butter, mix and cook for few minutes turn the stove off.
