Oops... Day Three Beef Curry

I was meant to do battered fish, chips and peas, but I fancied this instead ;)

Here are my items for my beef curry. I have never made this before, but saw a recipe (which I didn't follow) and thought it might be quite tasty.

Casserole Beef

White onion

Ground Coriander

Kidney Beans

Salt/Pepper

Coriander and cumin curry paste

Hot Masala curry powder

As you can see I make it up as I go along :)

First I sweat the chopped onion in a tiny amount of oil on a very low heat.

After 5 mins I add a table spoon and a half of the curry paste.

Then I add 1/2 pint of hot water.

Give it a stir and then add the casserole beef.

After a few minutes I then add about 3 table spoons of Hot masala curry powder.

Give it another little stir and coat the beef in the powder.

Then add another 1/2 pint of hot water, handful of red lentils and two bay leaves.

I will leave this too simmer for about 2 hours. ( Every 20mins add a bit of water as it will go too stodgy) Then for last 15 mins of cooking while I do the rice I will add Kidney beans. At this point you could add any other vegetables you want.
