Beef curry suggestions

jp_bl_68 · 12 Apr 2011 at 15:35

I feel like having curry for dinner so I'm after some suggestions.

I've got some casserole steak, tinned tomatoes, garlic, onions, potatoes, a fairly well stocked drawer full of spices and some natural yoghurt.

Madras. Beef madras is sublime.

BBC recipe: http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/beefmadras_67360
or http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/beefmadras_92063.

You'll need to cook it for a long time though as casserole (stewing?) steak isn't ideal.

Also, wrong (sub)forum!

I usually find casserole steak is awfly chewy! Cook it slowly.
You can make beef madras!

I'm not sure i'd use to tomatoes though.
With some of your spices you may be able to make Bombay Potatoes.

How long has that been there?

Anyway, beef madras sounds good.

Put some sultanas in the curry. Gives it a lovely edge.

Love the idea of baklava but sadly I find it vile. Far too sweet and sickly. Can't stand halva either.

Just for anyone interested in making a beef curry, I too had (most of) the ingredients for this one. Swapped out a couple of herb/spice but it's extremely nice.
Have never bothered making a curry from scratch but I'm really impressed with the taste of this, given how easy it was to make.

I was actually a bit disappointed with that recipe. It didn't taste like any madras I've had before. That's not to say it was bad, just not what I expected.

i'm not surprised. 1 green chilli is nowhere near enough heat for any madras Ive ever had. It doesn't even say what kind of chilli, there are loads of different variety of chilli, the colour is useless :rolleyes:

In a supermarket a "green chilli" is usually a Jalepeno lol.

Emlyn_Dewar · 27 Apr 2011 at 11:51

I used 3 bird eye chillies which gave it a comfortable amount of heat. I would imagine 4 would have given it the proper kick.

1 generic chilli would have been miserable.
