Method
- Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large saucepan and fry the beef for 4-5 minutes, or until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add 1 tbsp vegetable oil to the saucepan and fry the onion, garlic, ginger and red chilli for 3-4 minutes, or until the onion is soft. Add the turmeric, cumin and chilli powder and fry for 1 minute.
- Return the beef to the pan and stir in the potato, chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, cinnamon, beef stock and creamed coconut. Cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, or until the beef is tender. Add a little water if necessary.
