Description

Ingredients

• 4 tbsp sunflower oil
• 800g/1lb 12oz beef braising steak, cut into 2.5cm/1in pieces
• 2 onions, finely chopped
• 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 2 chillies, finely chopped, plus extra to taste
• 2.5cm/1in piece fresh root ginger
• 4 tsp ground cumin

• 2 tsp ground turmeric
• 2 x 400g/14oz can chopped tomatoes
• 2 tsp garam masala
• 200g/7oz natural yoghurt
• small handful fresh chopped coriander (optional)

Directions

• Heat half of the oil in a frying pan and fry the beef pieces for 4-5 minutes, or until browned all over. (You may need to brown the meat in batches.) Tip the browned meat into the slow cooker.
• Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the onions for five minutes, then add the garlic, chilli and ginger and fry for another 2-3 minutes. Add the spices and fry for another minute, then tip the mixture into the slow cooker.
• Add the chopped tomatoes to the slow cooker, then fill one of the empty cans with water and add the water to the slow cooker.
• Stir everything together, pressing down so that everything is covered in liquid and cook for 8-10 hours on low.
• About 30 minutes before serving, stir in the garam masala and yoghurt and season to taste with salt and a little more chilli. Cook for a further 30 minutes, then stir in the coriander.
