BEEF CURRY WITH POTATOES RECIPES

Steps:

• Heal the oil in a large pan and add the onions, frying until lightly coloured.
• Add the garlic, chilli powder, cumin, coriander and ginger and cook gently for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally; if the mixture becomes dry, add 2 tablespoons of water.
• Add the beef and cook, stirring, until browned all over. Add the tomato puree, salt to taste and just enough water to cover the meat; stir very well.
• Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for about 1 hour or until the meat is almost tender. Add the potatoes and whole chillies and simmer until the potatoes are cooked.

Steps:

• Cut beef into 2 cm (approximately 1 inch) cubes, place into a deep dish and sprinkle with lemon juice. Season with salt. Crush dried chillies in a mortar, add to meat, mix well and marinate for about 30 minutes.
• Peel onion and chop. Combine garlic and ginger. Heat oil in a large skillet, saute onion and ginger-garlic mixture, stirring, for about 5 minutes until they are really soft but not brown. Reduce heat and add all spices, except garam masala. Saute for 2-3 minutes, stirring. Add oil if needed. Add meat with marinade. Mix meat well so that it is covered all over with spices. Simmer, covered, for about 5-10 minutes. Peel potatoes and cut into pieces.
• Add tomato puree and broth to meat. Cook curry on low heat for about 40 minutes or until meat is tender. Add garam masala and  potatoes and mix carefully. Cook for another 10 minutes or until sauce is thick and potatoes are tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place into small bowls. Serve with flatbread.
