I originally found this recipe in a Dutch language curry cookbook, but have changed it up somewhat. It tastes great, is quick and easy to prepare, is an entire meal, and not much to clean up afterwards. I would say the leftovers taste terrific cold the following day, but we rarely have anything to save! Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups potatoes, peeled diced and boiled till just done |
2 tablespoons oil |
2 onions, chopped |
2 -4 chopped chili peppers (or to your taste) |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
1 lb ground beef |
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 teaspoon cardamom powder |
3/4 teaspoon ground ginger powder |
1 teaspoon chili powder |
1 cup water |
2 teaspoons tomato paste |
1 cup green beans (canned or pre-cooked) |
3/4 cup coconut milk |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl or coffee cup combine the turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, cardamom, ginger and chili powder.
2. In a large frying pan, saute onion, pepper and garlic in the oil until the onion softens.
3. Add the spice mix to the vegetable mixture in the frying pan and combine well.
4. Add the ground beef, stirring well and often to incorporate the spice mix with the beef and brown thoroughly.
5. Add the water and the tomato paste, again mixing well.
6. Cook this at a low to medium simmer until most of the water has cooked off.
7. Mix in the potatoes and the green beans, then the coconut milk (you may need to add a small amount of water to facilitate the mixing, but no more than 1/4 cup!).
8. Simmer till everything is heated through, and serve.
