Meat and Potato Curry Recipe
Ingredients :
1.5 kg 1/4 cup 1 teaspoon 1/2 teaspoon 6 cloves 1 tablespoon 3 1 1/2 teaspoons 2 tablespoons 1 tablespoon 2 teaspoons 3 teaspoons 2 tablespoons 2 teaspoons 2 tablespoons 750 g 2 tablespoons	Skirt or other lean stewing steak Oil or 2 tablespoons ghee Black mustard seeds Fenugreek seeds Garlic, chopped Finely chopped fresh ginger Medium onions, finely sliced Ground turmeric Ground coriander Ground cumin Chili powder Salt Vinegar Garam masala Extra vinegar Potatoes, peeled and cubed Chopped fresh coriander leaves
Method : Trim steak of fat and gristle and cut into small cubes Heat oil in a large saucepan and fry the mustard seeds until they pop. Add fenugreek seeds, garlic, ginger and onion and fry over medium heat. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon, until onions just begin to brown. Add turmeric and fry for a minute longer. Add coriander, cumin and chili powder and stir for a minute or so. Then add salt and vinegar and stir until liquid dries up. Sprinkle in the garam masala and mix well. Add the cubed meat, stirring so that all the pieces are coated with the spice mixture. If there is much of the spice sticking to the base of the pan, add the extra vinegar and stir, scrapping as much as possible from the base of the pan. Reduce heat, cover with well-fitting lid and let meat and spice mixture simmer for 1 1/2 - 2 hours or until meat is tender. Depending on the type of meat used, it may be necessary to add a little water. Add the cubed potatoes, cover once more and cook for 20-25 minutes or until done. Sprinkle with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with rice or Indian bread.
