Ingredients

Here’s everything you’ll need to make this delightful dish: (serves 4):

• 500g beef chuck or stewing beef, cut into bite-sized pieces

• 2 tbsp vegetable oil

• 1 large onion, finely chopped

• Korma curry paste

• 1 tablespoon coriander seeds

• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric (turmeric powder)

• 1 tablespoon garam masala

• 1 tablespoon oil

• 2 garlic cloves, chopped

• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, chopped

• 1 tablespoon tomato paste (tomato purée)

• 1 tablespoons desiccated coconut

• 1 tablespoons cashew nuts, finely ground

• 1 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves

  
  

• 1 cup plain yogurt (or coconut milk for a dairy-free option)

• 1 cup beef stock

• 1/4 cup cashews, for garnish

• Fresh coriander, for garnish

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Steamed rice or naan, for serving

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Season the beef pieces with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large pot or skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef in batches until browned on all sides, then set aside.

   
   

2. In the same pot, add another tablespoon of oil and lower the heat to medium. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.

   
   

3. Add the korma curry paste to the pot. Stir everything together, letting the spices bloom for 1-2 minutes.

   
   

4. Return the beef to the pot, then stir in the yogurt and beef stock. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook on low heat for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and the sauce is thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

   
   

5. Garnish with fresh coriander and cashew and serve hot over steamed rice or with warm naan. Watch as your family digs into this creamy, spiced perfection!

PlatePal Tips for Fun & Flavor

• Make It a Family Affair: Let the kids help! They can measure out spices, mix the yogurt, or sprinkle cilantro on the finished dish.

  
  

• Personalize the Heat: If your family prefers a bit more spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some chopped fresh chilies.

  
  

• Boost the Veggies: Toss in some peas, carrots, or diced potatoes during the last 30 minutes of cooking for added nutrition.

  
  

• Freeze for Later: Korma Beef Curry freezes beautifully, making it perfect for meal prepping. Divide leftovers into portions and freeze for up to 3 months.
