Lamb or Beef With Whole Spices and Onions

"From Madhur Jaffrey's Step-by-Step Cooking. The recipe calls for lamb, but I used beef and thought it tasted fantastic. I didn't have black cardamom pods. I also substituted crushed red pepper flakes for the whole peppers. I used much less oil than called for and added 1/2 cup of beef broth for extra liquid."
