This is a very tasty curry that is made in the slow cooker and the beef just falls apart. This is quite straight forward to follow but smells and tastes amazing.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the sliced onions until they are caramelised and golden in colour. Takes about 20 minutes.

While the onions are frying, in another frying pan add the cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, cumin seeds, black peppercorns, fresh chillis & cayenne pepper & toast them for 4 minutes. Let cool.

Now put it all into a blender and blitz it into a powder.

Now add the garam masalla.

Chop up your 2 chillis finely.

once onions are done, add your chopped chillis and garlic & ginger pastes to them and stir. Cook for 2 minutes until garlic doesn’t smell raw.

Now add your spices.

Give it a good stir. Add 2 tbsp of water to stop it sticking and cook for 3 minutes.

Add your beef and potatoes to the slow cooker.

Mix your beef stock, vinegar, tamarind paste, salt & coconut milk together. Add it to the pan of onions.

Mix this altogether.

Pour the sauce mixture into the slow cooker on top of the beef & potatoes.

Give it a stir and put it on high and cook for 4-6 hours until it’s at your desired softness.

The sauce will reduce and thicken and you end up with a lovely spicy beef curry.

Serve with some rice of your choice but it goes well with coconut rice.
