Beef and Spinach Curry

Read Reviews (33)

"This curry can be eaten with rice or pasta, but is also very nice with fries." — jane Gibraltar

Directions

Heat the ghee in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the garlic and onion, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the serrano, and continue to cook for another 3 minutes. Season with the cloves, garam masala, coriander, chile powder, turmeric, and cumin, cook for 2 to 3 more minutes to release the flavor.
Stir in the beef and salt, cook for 3 minutes more. Add the tomatoes, coconut milk, and spinach. Bring to a simmer, then cover, and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Uncover, then stir in the lemon juice, and cook for 10 more minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened.

YUMMY! I used stew beef and took the advice from others and simmered it with vin & baking soda for two hours. I also doubled the spices and threw in a bit of hot madras curray powder because I like it spicy. Hubby LOVED it - no left overs. Will be making again and again. Thank you for this recipe!

Warning.... my coconut milk curdled when I cooked it.... did a little reading and it seems anything with oil will do this... so maybe it was because I used regular butter instead of clarified butter? I'm not sure, but this dish surely looks unappetizing like this. Don't make my mistake! :-(

this was very good and had a beautiful appearance with the greens, reds, and the yellow from the tumeric. Adjusted the spices to taste, as written was a little on the soft side, but that is good for those that may not like things too spicy. Used achar masala, so added green cardamom pods, and cinnamon stick. Sauteed those w/the cloves in onions. Added garlic near the end of the saute so it would not burn or get bitter. Thanks for another nice Indian recipe! I love your 'maharaja curry' also! Served w/saffron basmati rice w/some green peas tossed in for more color and texture. next time I will add a dollop of yogurt near the end for a little tang. The lemon juice did not provide enough tang to the recipe. It did not need any tart to thicken, as it was just a perfect consistency on its own.

This recipe was phenomenal. I had all the spices on hand and used skirt steak. Also used one full can of diced tomatoes, with green chili peppers. The beef was tender and the aromatic spices gave just enough heat without making the dish too hot. Served it over a natural whole grain brown rice. Thank you so much!

Very, very good recipe. I added extra spice and may try the other reviewers suggestion next time. I like more heat, but the flavor blend was really nice. I somehow managed to make the tenderloin a little chewy - not sure if this was not enough heat in browning or what, but the recipe was still very good.

Excellent. I made it as written minus the peppers because I didn't have any. I used 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes instead. So, so good! I also added some diced carrots just because I'm always trying to sneak more vegetables in our diet. Thanks!
