This was really good and fun to make for two novice chefs. We used chuck steak rather than stew-grade beef, and sweet potatoes rather than regular potatoes. The sweet potatoes went really well with the curry, and I didn't find the meat to be too tough. We'll definitely make this again!

I give this a three not because I liked it but, the wife seemed. So, what went right? I took some advice from others and cut the broth and added cornstarch. Got the perfect consistency for a great stew. The meal was easy to make and it smelled AWESOME while cooking it. However, once done, I put it over rice and must say, other than the first bite, this is probably the most bland thing I have ever eaten. I was so disappointed as I wanted a good easy curry dish. And the heat? Nothing there. Next time I'll add a few teaspoons of Cayenne. My recommendation is if you're going to try this, you have to add in a lot more spices. This was just too bland for me. The wife liked it, however, so, I'll give it three stars. I don't think I'll be making it again--it just took too long to make to risk having the same result again.

This was an awesome recipe to start from. I've made it 3 times now. Here are the changes I made: added more beef and potatoes than the recipe asked for, and bell peppers and carrots for a more stew taste. I coated the beef in flour before browning to thicken up the soup. It was still pretty runny but the broth was so good, nobody was complaining. If you want to make this more of a stew, you should probably use 4 cups of stock, not 6, and use cornstarch to thicken.

This was absolutely out of this world! The flavor is so intense. She said the recipe is from South Africa but my husband was in the Navy and we were stationed in Japan and the Japanese also have alot of curry dishes like this. It was so good to taste that flavor again, it brings back good memories! Thanks!

I made this last night and wow!!!! Is it ever great!!!! I was a little nervous because of the amount of curry that it called for (I'm not a fan of strong curries) but I followed the recipe exactly and the results were fantastic. I will be making this one again. Thanks for sharing.

This recipe is good and the kids like it. The beef broth was a bit too much so it became more of a stew. If you like curry based sauce, thicken it up with cornstarch or add less broth. For me, I added carrots and puree them with the potatoes to thicken it up a bit. That also makes the kids eat the "hidden" vegetables. Will make it again but this time probably spice it up with chillie flakes.

This really hit the spot! Read other reviews, added an extra potato, 2 thin carrots and a small amount of cornstarch. Made 8 cups of soup. Simple and very tasty.

This was not impressive. For a recipe rated a 5 I was very disappointed.

Very delicious. We've also tried it with chicken instead of the beef and liked it just as well.

I've made this recipe multiple times with brillant success. A great base soup that with a little creativity you can add all sorts of different vegetables. I've amazed friends who come into my house when this is cooking and they usually try to stay for dinner. This is also one of the easiest recipes I've seen in awhile.

This recipe was great. I did put only 3 cups beef broth and added more curry powder. It tasted very delicious. I made it into a stew instead. Thank you!

Excellent soup that is very easy to make. I suggest a tad bit more curry, and less onion, more like 1 and 1/2.

This was my first attempt with curry and beef and I did not like the result at all. I think I will stick with curry in chicken and in rice-vegetable salads. Thanks for the recipe anyway. It may be that it just doesn't suit my tastes.
