Ingredients for Boneless beef curry
Beef
Whether it’s for a hearty stew, a rich curry, or a succulent stir-fry, beef is a delicious and satisfying ingredient that can be tailored to suit various culinary preferences and tastes. In this recipe, I recommend using boneless beef, cut into cubes. However bone-in beef would work just as well.
Onions and tomatoes
Onions and tomatoes are an integral part of desi curries and stews. Onion makes the base and is slightly sweeter, and tomato, on the other hand, is slightly sour, which balances the flavors. I added both onions and tomatoes into the pot in the first step so they could cook evenly and give a velvety sauce.
Yogurt
I used full-fat yogurt to give the creaminess to this dish. I will not recommend using low-fat yogurt because you won’t be able to achieve a creamy flavor. Make sure to mix the yogurt well before adding it to the mutton to avoid any lumps. If your yogurt tends to split then add a little bit of the gravy and mix it well before adding it to the rest of the curry.
Spices
When it comes to seasoning a delicious curry, the choice of spices plays a fundamental role in determining the final taste. In this case, the blend of salt, red chili, cumin, coriander, and turmeric powder brings a rich and aromatic profile to the dish.
Ginger and garlic paste
Subcontinental food is incomplete without some ginger and garlic. I like to make ginger and garlic paste in advance and freeze it in small portions. I used a 1tsp each of ginger and garlic paste in this recipe.
Cooking time
I’m making this recipe in a pressure cooker/instant pot, which is quick. This recipe takes only about 30 minutes to be ready but if you are using a regular pot then it will take more time. If you would like to cook in a regular pot then replenish the water as needed.
How to serve beef curry?
If you’re looking to savor the delicious flavors of curry, there are several delightful options to pair it with. The rich and aromatic curry tastes exquisite when accompanied by freshly baked naan, tandoori roti straight from the clay oven, or soft homemade roti. Additionally, you can elevate your dining experience by pairing the curry with fragrant pulao or simply plain rice.
How to store beef Curry?
To store beef curry, allow it to cool to room temperature before transferring it to an airtight container. Store any leftovers in an air-tight container for up to three days. This recipe freezes very well. Just divide it into small portions and heat it before serving. When reheating, ensure the stew reaches a piping-hot temperature to maintain its flavors and safety.
