Dahl with Spinach and Coconut

Red Beef curry

I love Indian food, totally dig it. But going to an Indian restaurant is not something that I like too much. First, what we get in this country is not really that good. And if I eat abroad I have to stick to vegetarian dishes.

This very simple dish only requires the most basic ingredients and is quick to make.

Serve it over Basmati rice for a very filling dinner

1.5 tsp oil (or 1 Tbs Gee)

1/2 Tbs red pepper

1/2 tsp curry

1 tsp paprika

1 garlic clove

1 cardamon pot, slightly broken, but so that you can fish it out later

1/2 tsp each of cinnamon and pepper

500gr beef stew meat

1 can coconut milk

Heat the oil in a heavy based pan on medium high heat.

Add the spices and fry them slightly until fragrant (make sure not to burn it).

Add the meat and brown it for a few minutes. Then add the garlic and fry it for a few seconds.

Pour in the coconut milk. Put a lid on the pan. Reduce the heat to very low and simmer until done (this takes about 2-3 hours, add water if

needs be).

If you serve it with rice and a light side salad this is a hearty meal for four.
