Mild Beef Madras

My take on Beef Madras, similar spice base but much milder in heat. 2 servings.

Uh-oh! We're unable to calculate nutrition for this recipe because some ingredients aren't recognized.

Step 1

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and when it is hot sear the meat until browned all over (omit this step if using precooked beef). Take out the meat and set aside. Add the onion and slow fry for 10 minutes or until just beginning to colour.

Step 2

Add the garlic and fry for a minute

Step 3

Add the pepper and fry for 5 minutes

Step 4

Increase the heat, add the powdered spices and fry for 1 minute, stirring all the time

Step 5

Add the curry paste and fry for 1 minute, stirring all the time

Step 6

Add the meat, tinned tomatoes, tomato puree, sugar, stock cube and thyme. Stir to mix in then lower the heat to a simmer. Simmer for 1 hour, adding some water if the mix seems too thick.

Step 7

Serve with coconut rice and naan, and dark green veg or an Indian veggie side such as saag aloo or matar paneer.
