Beef Curry Ideas Please

[albaqwerty]

Am fed up making stew/casseroles.

Have been requested to do a beef curry tonight but it's been decades since I've made one.

Just slsice the onion, add the beef, stock and curry powder??

[ummmm]

That's a bit basic.

i add lots black pepper, tomatoes and lemon juice - makes it more like a madras. I always slow cooker it too, so it's really tender.
Always fry your onions until they are very dark brown, it makes a big difference to the flavour. x

[ummmm]

Just look at some of the ingredients these chefs use...

You'd be better off legging it to the shop and buying jars.

add coconut milk

ummm got a bunch of fusspots here.

When I do either a chicken curry or chicken risotto, then it's the works.

Lemon juice sounds like a good idea.

Might just do stovies and wimp out of the curry.


Stuff the wimps, will add the tomatoes as well.

Thank you both xx

I use garam masala, curry leaves, mild chillies, garlic, mustard seeds and lots of other spices when I make a curry. Then I put a tin of coconut milk in.

Simple recipe here, though they seem to have missed the first step - fry off lots of onions to start.

i add other spices too, but got the impression that's all you had in.

Onions have been browwned to within an inch of their live. Meat browned, curry powder added (must restock my spice cupboard) stock added. Will add the sliced toms later on in the cooking.


Older son has been sent for naan bread and coconut milk.

Many thanks all xx

Dog is sitting guard at the kitchen door, as if she's going to get any :D

PS This was my third attempt at asking before it was submitted so I may seem to be a little ahead of the browning etc.
