This is taken from my curry cook book:

Ingredients:

4oz fresh coconut
8-12 whole red chillies – dried
3 teaspoons paprika powder
1 x ½”piece of fresh ginger
6 plump garlic cloves
3 teaspoons coriander powder
3 peppercorns
2 cinnamon or bay leaves
4” cinnamon stick
6 cloves
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 teaspoon poppy seeds
½ teaspoon fennel seeds
3 teaspoons of oil
2 large onions – chopped
1 ¼ lb stewing beef
3 tomatoes – chopped
Salt

To cook:

1. Cut half the coconut into small pieces for grinding with spices and set aside. Cut the remainder into pieces and put into a blender with 2 cups of warm water. Blend until smooth, then strain and reserve the coconut milk.

2. Grind together the chopped coconut, chillies and the ginger, garlic and all the spices to make a smooth paste, adding a little water.

3. Heat the oil in a cooking pot and fry the onions until brown. Add the spice paste and fry for about 15 minutes over a low heat, stirring in 3 tablespoons water in the process.

4. Add the meat and sauté for 5 minutes over a moderate heat. Add the tomatoes and sauté for a further 5 minutes. Add salt to taste.

5. Add 4 cups warm water and cook, covered, until the meat is done (about 50-60 minutes). Then add the coconut milk and simmer for a few minutes before serving.

Get a jar of Madras Curry paste.....It tells you how to make it on the jar and generally you only need the meat, onions, tomatoes and coconut. Its a very easy way to make a good tasting curry.
