How to Make Aromatic Beef and Potato Curry

1. Marinate the Beef

Mix the ground beef with salt, turmeric, cumin, and coriander. Let it marinate for about an hour to allow the flavors to blend thoroughly.

2. Cook Shallots and Ginger

Heat the peanut oil in a skillet or wok until hot. Add the minced shallots and ginger, cooking for about 4 minutes until the shallots become translucent and soft.

3. Cook the Potatoes

Add the cubed potatoes to the skillet and cook them for 3-4 minutes until they are lightly browned. Raise the heat and pour in 1 cup of water, bringing it to a boil. Cover the skillet, lower the heat, and let it simmer for 10 minutes until the potatoes are nearly tender.

4. Add the Beef and Tomatoes

Add the seasoned meat mixture to the skillet, breaking it up into small, even pieces with your spoon. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and red chile powder. Continue to simmer until the meat changes color and the potatoes are fully tender.

5. Adjust Consistency and Seasoning

If the curry appears too thick, add more water a little at a time until you achieve your desired sauce texture. Stir in the freshly ground black pepper if you prefer.

6. Taste and Serve

Taste the curry and adjust the seasoning as needed. Serve hot and enjoy the aromatic blend of beef, potatoes, and spices.

Pitfalls and tips

Choose the Right Cut of Beef

Opt for well-marbled cuts like chuck roast or beef shank for tenderness over long cook times.

Bloom Your Spices

Toast whole spices and cook ground spices in oil to intensify flavor.

Low and Slow Cooking

Simmer gently to tenderize meat and meld flavors, adjusting time for slow or pressure cookers.

Layering Flavors

Sauté onions until golden brown to add sweetness and depth.

Deglazing

Incorporate the fond from browning meat with stock or water for flavor.
