Crock Pot Creamy Beef Curry

"This is a very simple but delicious recipe for beef braised in Indian spices. Ground almonds are used to thicken the sauce, and yogurt may be added if you prefer a creamier result. Good served over fragrant basmati rice, accompanied by steamed green beans and warm naan, an Indian bread."

  1. Delicious!! This was a winner at our family table...so tasty and so easy to prepare. I popped it in the crockpot before I left for work and came home to the most wonderful aroma. Served over Recipe #108305 with a dolop of yogurt..Mmmm!! Edited to add...leftovers the following day were even more flavourful.
     
  2. I've been trying to cook indian food now for several years, with mixed success. Mostly, I don't have a pressure cooker and I can't get the meat right. This slow cook method really gets all the flavors together and the meat tender. I'm going to try it again for sure, maybe with a tsp of mustard seeds and a tblsp of tom paste. thanks for the recipe.
     
  3. We would have liked to have had more flavour and the DH commented he would have loved it if I had added some Madras curry powder but it was easy to prepare and would certainly consider doing again but with modifications for when we are out all day. I make 2 minor changes for dietary reasons and that was to cut the onion chunky so that the person who is intolerant to it could remove it and not ingest it and due to nut allergy I used a cornflour/cornstarch slurry to thicken and just before serving added some shredded kale and would consider for a one pot meal instead of serving over rice to add some potatoes and carrots or other vegetables of choice, though did omit the yoghurt as we had none. Thank you Olha made for Name that Ingredient tag game.
