This is a great recipe and it's very easy to make substitutions when you have a curry craving, but maybe missing a few things. The easiest things to substitute is with ground ginger and with jarred/canned jalapeno. Of course, it is better with fresh...sometimes, my grocery store just doesn't have them. It's great without the meat, or with chicken instead of beef too (The beef is the best though!) Give this recipe a try, you won't be disappointed.

This was sooo yummy and easy. I made it with boneless beef short ribs cubed. I did make a minor change to the ingredients because of what I had on had. I used a 28 oz can of crushed roma tomatoes and then added a 14 1/2 oz can of the diced tomatoes for texture. Also, I changed the cooking technique a tad. I browned the beef (covered in half the spices) in oil and then removed from pan, softened the onion, pepper, ginger and then added the rest of the spices and let them release their flavor before adding the meat back and the rest of the ingredients. DS and DD who are curry fans loved it and my meat and tater DH ate two helpings. I would like to try this in my new pressure cooker for a tasty weeknight meal. Thanks so much for sharing!
