How to Cook Colonial Beef Curry

In this video I demonstrate how to cook colonial beef curry, a kind of hybrid between Indian-style curry and a British or Irish stew. Curries like this are a popular choice on British pub grub menus.

Ingredients:

700g lean diced stewing beef.

1 onion, finely chopped.

1 onion, coarsely chopped.

3 carrots, coarsely chopped.

3 potatoes, quartered.

3 tablespoons of tomato puree/paste.

6-8 cloves of garlic, peeled.

2 thumb-sized pieces of fresh ginger, chopped.

1 bay leaf.

2 mild green chilli peppers (optional).

3 hot green bird-eye peppers (optional).

1 teaspoon of panch poran (optional).

Half a teaspoon of garam masala.

3 heaped teaspoons of curry powder.

A sprig of dried or fresh curry leaves (optional).

Oil, lard or ghee for frying.

1 beef stock cube.

1 teaspoon of sugar.

Water as required.

Garnish:

Chopped fresh tomato and chopped fresh onion.

Enjoy!
