  1. This is a delicious beef curry, I used rump steak (so cut down on cooking time) and I didnt need to add any water as it had plenty of 'juice' to cook in without adding it. The addition of the apricot jam gave this curry the right amount of sweet for our tastes.Served with rice and some crusty rolls to mop up the delicious sauce, thanks for posting.
     
  2. This was dinner tonight, and I have to say it was really good. I used cubed steak cut into small bite-size pieces, as that's all I had on hand, and I added fresh mushrooms in with the garlic/onion step (they needed to be used up), but it ended up being incredibly delicious. I am a huge fan of Indian and middle eastern cuisine, and this hit the spot for something easy and tasty with an Indian flavor.
     
  3. Delicious! I followed the advice of Evie and I used rump steak and very less water. I add only one tablespoon of jam and because I'm a proud Quebecer I add a tablespoon of maple syrup and it was fantastic! thanks for the recipe.
     
  4. Easy and delicious sweet, mild curry. It is nice to be able to use the actual spices rather than store bought curry powder. The crock pot worked well for cooking the curry and the aroma was enjoyable all day.
     
  5. Great easy curry. I could smell it all the way from the front door to my building. Will definately do it again. Thanks for sharing.

  1. This was a very good beef curry-- it worked well as a crock pot preparation and smelled fabulous when I walked in the door at the end of the work day. I did feel as if something was missing but can't quite put my finger on it! I think it might be good with some fresh chopped coriander and a bit of lemon juice stirred in at the end. And maybe a bit more jam and coconut milk instead of water? All in all it was an easy dish to put together, and I liked it. Thanks for posting! --Heather

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
