Cover and allow to simmer on low heat till all the water evaporates and a reddish sediment begins to appear. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Then put in two tablespoons of water and cover again. After a few moments, scrape the sediment with a spatula, turning the meat all the time. Repeat this process till the meat turns reddish brown. Then add sugar and the water and cook for at least half an hour. When the meat becomes tender, add the garam masala and zafran (ground to a paste with some keora water) and cover for another ten minutes. When the meat is nearly done, add the khoya (thinned with 25 gm of curd) and badam, ground to a paste. Place the vessel on a slow fire and cook for a few minutes till the khoya turns red and there is a little gravy left.
