How to Make Beef Bombay Curry
- Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add 1 large chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon turmeric, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon chili powder.
- Add the spice mixture, 2 minced cloves garlic, 2 finely chopped chili peppers (adjust to your spice preference), and 1 inch grated ginger to the onions. Stir well and cook for 1 minute.
- Add 1.5 lbs of cubed beefsteak (about 1-inch cubes) and cook until well browned on all sides, ensuring the beef is fully coated with the spice mixture. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon salt and 1 (28 ounce) can of crushed tomatoes.
- Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook until the beef is incredibly tender, about 1-1.5 hours (depending on the beef's quality).
- Stir in 1 (13.5 ounce) can of full-fat coconut milk.
- Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, or until the sauce slightly thickens.
- Serve hot over steamed rice. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
