How to Make Beef Curry With Potatoes

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 2 large chopped onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Add 4 minced cloves of garlic, 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon ground coriander, and 1 inch of grated ginger. Cook gently for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.
  3. If the mixture becomes too dry, add 2 tablespoons of water.
  4. Add 1.5 lbs of beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes. Brown the beef on all sides, stirring occasionally. This may take 8-10 minutes.
  5. Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can of tomato puree and salt to taste. Add enough water to just cover the meat.
  6. Stir very well to combine all ingredients.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for approximately 1 hour, or until the beef is almost tender.
  8. Add 2 large peeled and cubed potatoes and 2-3 whole green chilies. Continue to simmer, covered, until the potatoes are tender and cooked through (about 20-30 minutes).
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot with rice or naan bread.
