Step 1

In a bowl large bowl add all the spices, garlic, and half the diced coriander and mix thoroughly

Step 2

Thinly slice the medium onion, fresh chilli and tomatoes and add into the spice mix

Step 3

Add the mixed beef into the mix and using clean washed hands mix thoroughly to ensure an even coating. Set aside for 15 mins to marinate while you follow the next steps

Step 4

Peel and chop your potatoes into nice even sizes, into thirds usually works well for medium sized potatoes

Step 5

Part boil the potatoes, add one teaspoon of baking powder, 2 teaspoons of curry powder and 1 teaspoon of salt into the water. Baking soda breaks down the pectin in potatoes and draws the starch to the surface, this helps the potatoes absorb the salt and curry powder in the water (this tip also helps make extra crispy roast potatoes!)

Step 6

Drain and cool the potatoes. Once cool add to the marinated beef and stir through

Step 7

Heat a large high sided pan over a medium heat with a splash of oil

Step 8

Add the marinaded mix and cook off for 3-5 mins approx to seal the meat and release the aromatic flavours

Step 9

Add your coconut milk and cook together for a further 1 minute

Step 10

Transfer into you slow cooker and cook on low for 4.5 hours approx

Step 11

Served with cooked rice, and enjoy!
