Main Ingredients
- Beef (brisket or similar) 200g
- 1 Onion
- 2 Potatoes
- 1 Carrot
- 2 Chili peppers (optional, for added flavor)
- Curry powder for 2 servings (use your preferred brand)
- 2 bowls of Rice
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare Ingredients for Delicious Curry: First, wash all vegetables and beef thoroughly and get them ready.
Step 2
Chop the Vegetables: Peel the potatoes and carrot, then dice them into approximately 1.5-2cm cubes. Dice the onion into similar-sized pieces. If the vegetables are too small, they might break down too much while cooking, so aim for a suitable size.
Step 3
Prepare the Beef: Cut the beef into bite-sized pieces (about 2-3cm). Using tender cuts like brisket will make the curry even more delicious.
Step 4
Sauté the Vegetables: Heat 2-3 tablespoons of cooking oil in a pot or deep pan over medium heat. Add the diced carrot, potato, and onion and sauté for about 3-5 minutes until they begin to look slightly translucent. Sautéing the vegetables beforehand brings out their natural sweetness, enhancing the curry’s depth of flavor.
Step 5
Add and Sauté the Beef: Once the onion starts to turn transparent, add the cut beef and sauté together. Continue cooking until the beef is browned on the outside.
Step 6
Add Water and Simmer: After sautéing the beef and vegetables, pour in enough water to cover the ingredients. Typically, 500-600ml of water is appropriate. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 5-7 minutes. The liquid will reduce, and the ingredients will soften.
Step 7
Prepare the Curry Powder: Measure out 2 servings of curry powder. It’s helpful to refer to the water amount indicated on the packaging of your chosen curry powder.
Step 8
Dissolve the Curry Powder: Instead of adding the curry powder directly to the pot, it’s best to mix it with a little cold water or some of the broth in a separate bowl until smooth. Then, pour this mixture into the pot. This prevents lumps and results in a smoother, more refined curry.
Step 9
Simmer Gently: After adding the dissolved curry powder, reduce the heat to low. Continue to simmer for 7-8 minutes, or until the carrot is tender when pierced with a chopstick. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom. If the curry is too thin, simmer a little longer until it reaches your desired consistency.
Step 10
Add Chili Peppers (Optional): If you enjoy a bit of spice, finely slice the deseeded chili peppers and add them now. This will add a pleasant kick and further enhance the curry’s complex flavors.
Step 11
Delicious Curry is Ready!: Ladle the finished curry generously over warm rice and enjoy! Leftover curry can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated.
