Beef Curry 1

Back to recipe list

Source & History

This curry recipe is from the Day to Day Cookery book. It’s a favourite on a ‘cold’ winter’s day. There’s lots of sauce which can be mopped up with pappadams.

Notes

  • I usually double this.
  • I use a couple of tins of diced tomatoes instead of the carrot or tomato. And I use Granny Smith apples.
  • I don’t use the margarine for browning, I use oil.
  • Before I fry the apple, onion & curry powder, I coat the cubed meat in the combined flour, salt & freshly ground pepper & brown the meat in the oil, then I add the apple, onion & curry powder.
  • You can to eat this with pappadams as well as or instead of the rice. Naan bread would be good, too.
