Beef curry with cashews and coconut


For the meat curry with cashews and coconut

1 to 2 tbsp oil
3 tbsp onion
4 tbsp tomato
1 tbsp curry leaves
1 aniseed flower
1 tbsp garlic
2 cups beef or mutton cubed with or without bones
3/4 tbsp chillie powder or more to taste
1/4 tbsp turmeric powder
1/2 tbsp garam masala
1 1/2 tbsp coriander powder
1 tbsp tamarind pulp in 1/4 cup water
1 cup water
2 tbsp fresh grated coconut
1 tbsp cashew nuts crushed to a powder

Mix the meat with the spices and leave aside, it doesn't need to be marinated.

Heat oil, sauté onion, garlic, ginger, curry leaves, aniseed flower. Then add the meat with the spices. Add the tomato and tamarind to the meat and mix well. Add the water and cook covered in medium low heat till the meat is well cooked and soft. Can use a pressure cook.

Add the coconut and cashews after the meat is well cooked. Cook uncovered till the water evaporates. Serve hot with rice or bread.
This goes to MLLA #43 and savoury sunday.

  30. I stopped by your blog from Cosmopolitan Currymania because I was intrigued to meet another Torontonian food blogger! Very nice recipe, and it's not too heavy with the cashews. I will have to try it (although, I will probably use beef as we have never cooked mutton). Hope you can visit my blog, I'm holding my first give away! I wish you would enter.

  37. We have access to tamarind paste too, which is great for a lot of curry dishes. Such a nice, tart bite. It really adds the right undertone to these types of dishes.
