Burmese Beef Curry image

This is based on a Charmane Soloman recipe. It's really important to be patient carrying out the initial frying. Altough the ingredients are simple, the initial frying provides the flavour. I serve this over rice, with fresh coriander to garnish.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large onions, roughly chopped
5 garlic cloves
2 inches gingerroot, peeled
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons oil
750 g beef steaks, cut into largish pieces, i used rump
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
375 g potatoes, peeled quartered or 3 large potatoes
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Place the onions, ginger and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth.
  • Add the chili powder, and turmeric and paprika until combined.
  • Heat the oil until smoking point is reached, then add the contents of the processor or blender.
  • Be very careful as this mix will splutter as it hits the very hot oil.
  • Stir into the oil, reduce the heat of your burner to low, cover, and cook for about 30 minutes.
  • You will need to stir fairly regularly, and be patient.
  • The mix will begin to evaporate, start to smell sweeter and eventually turn a redish brown, with the oil seperating to the edges.
  • It may take more than 30 minutes, like I said, be patient!
  • Mix the cumin, coriander and salt together and massage through the steak pieces.
  • Add the steak and potatoes to the onion mix, fry for a couple of minutes, then add the water.
  • Bring to the boil, stirring, then reduce the heat and cover.
  • Cook for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Remove the lid, increase the heat and cook for a further 15 minutes or until the sauce is thickened and reduced.
  • Serve over plain rice.
