Instructions:

1. Marinate the Beef:

   • In a bowl, combine the beef pieces with garam masala, biryani paste, chili powder, and yogurt. Mix well to ensure the beef is evenly coated with the marinade. Cover with an airtight lid and let it marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

2. Prepare the Aromatics:

   • Heat the vegetable oil and ghee (or margarine) in a large pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the bay leaves, cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, star anise, cloves, sliced onion, minced garlic, and ground ginger. Sauté until the spices are fragrant and the onions are golden brown.

4. Simmer the Mixture:

   • Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and add the evaporated milk. Stir well, and allow the mixture to simmer until the liquid is reduced and the beef is tender. Adjust seasoning with salt as needed.

5. Finish Cooking:
