An easy slow cooker beef curry, no paste required, just throw it all in and it's perfect for anyone wanting a high protein dinner, yip, women over 50).
I love a curry. Once you've got a sauce, the basics, right, you can throw in anything to get your veggies used up or just add in flavour and nutrients.
Easy slow cooker beef curry
1 Onion peeled and finely chopped
2 Garlic Cloves peeled and finely chopped
1 teaspoon Fresh Ginger peeled and grated
500g Diced Beef
1/2 Tin of Chopped Tomatoes
1 tablespoon Tomato Puree
1 tablespoon marmalade or mango chutney or even honey
2 tablespoon Medium Curry Powder
1/2 teaspoon Ground Cumin
1/2 teaspoon Garam Masala
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
Shake of Chilli Powder
Salt and pepper
This one was quite spicy, so adjust spices to your taste.
Instructions
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and ginger and put them in the bottom of the slow cooker. Place diced beef on top.
Mix together the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, marmalade spices, salt, pepper in a jug and add to the slow cooker
Cook on high for 3.5 hours. Remove lid, stir and cook for 30 minutes with lid off if it needs to thicken up. Mine rarely does.
You can cook on low for 8 hours so perfect for sticking on in the morning and that's it ready for teatime.
Add ins and tips
I added in sliced red cabbage and black beans at the same time as everything else. Sounds weird but they were bits lying in the fridge that needed used up and yes, it worked.
Other times I've added in carrots or butternut squash and butterbeans.
If I have it I sometimes add in a teaspoon of fresh chopped chilli.
I had no tinned tomatoes yesterday so used passata
Sometimes I add in some coconut milk at the end but if I'm doing that I use less tomatoes.
Storage and freezing
Store in fridge for up to 3 days
Allow to cool and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost thouroghly before reheating.
