Simple Beef Curry

Submitted by getoutofmygalley

"I love curries, and the beef (instead of chicken/pork/lamb) is a nice change. Adjust the curry to your taste, I like mine pretty strong! You could use ground sirloin, too, and serve it over mashed potatoes...sounds weird but both of the end results are fabulous!"

Honestly I've eaten a few curry dishes and this was not very good. When I talked to my GF about it (whose parents make great curry) I mentioned the paprika and the chilly powder which she knew they did not use. I think maybe that's where this recipe goes off. I would look for another recipe without the chilly or paprika.

So this was my 1st time making a curry, spent all afternoon making it and well it was far to spicy for me and my husband (who likes spicey food), only used 2 1/2 cups of water and was still really runny. Would try again as could tell it had good potential, would just reduce chilli powder to pinch chilli power and only 2 cups water.

I tried this today and it was so good. To lessen the time of cooking i used preassure cooker just 30minutes if a little bit watery just turn on the fire in medium heat snd stir slowly with chopsticks or spoon until you get the desired thickness of the sauce... Its so good 5 star for you... Im gonna share your recipe to my friends
