00:18beef curry a friend of mine used to do you know videos on youtube she hasn't done them for years
00:25but this was one of her very first video recipes and let me tell you this is going to be
00:31one of the
00:32best curries that you will ever make it's one of the best that i've ever made highly recommended

04:31.
04:33.
04:34.
04:34.
04:35.
04:42The last thing I'm going to add in terms of herbs and spices are these fennel seeds.
04:48So a couple of teaspoons of these.
04:50And this really does add a wee bit of something extra.
04:53Just give those a gentle stir through, just until they disappear into your sauce.
04:58Now obviously we're going to have to add some liquid to this to, you know, turn it into a sauce.
05:04So I'm just going to add some water, cold water, warm water, it doesn't matter.
05:08So I am just using cold water just to cover the beef.
05:12And then you want to bring this up to a boil.
05:15Once it's at the boil, turn the heat right down and you want to simmer this for about an hour.
05:20So do come back from time to time just to give it a good stir together to check your liquid
05:25levels
05:26because you may have to add more water.
05:28You know if too much of your water evaporates,
05:31but you want to make sure that your beef is covered and simmering and cooking well.
05:35So you just want to keep, you know, just keep an eye on it.
05:38Keep simmering away and simmering away until your sauce is lovely and thick
05:43and your beef is lovely and tender.
05:46Mine took about an hour and 15 minutes because my beef is quite large and chunky.
05:51If you use smaller beef, it may not take as long,
05:55but would you look at the shine off of that sauce.
05:58And it's beautifully thick and the flavour was insane.
06:03And this beef is fall apart, tender.
06:05I'm just going to show you in a wee second how easily my wooden spoon goes through this beef.
06:11You know, it just goes straight through.
06:13It's like butter.
06:14Yeah, just beautiful, lovely sauce as well and gorgeous smell.
06:19Yeah.
06:20So do give this a go.
06:21Like I said, if you do like a nice spicy curry packed with flavour.
06:26And would you look at how tender this is as well.
06:30So you can serve this with whatever you like.
06:32We tend just to serve curries, you know, just with some plain rice.
06:37Occasionally, we'll have something like a chapati or a piece of naan bread
06:40or even poppadoms or a mango chutney.
06:43You know, it's completely up to you.
06:45But we are going to have this for our tea.
06:47So I'm just going to serve this very plain tonight
06:50with some basmati rice underneath.
06:53Or you could even add some coriander or lime onto the top of this as well.
06:57Would also be lovely.
06:59So pile your plate nice and high.
07:01Like I said, this recipe will serve three to four people.
07:05I mean, this is a very generous portion.
07:07So if you're having a portion of this size, it will do about three people.
07:11If you're not as greedy, it will do about four people.
07:14So do let me know what you thought of that one.
07:17And Kate, if you're watching, thank you so much for the recipe.
07:20I finally got round to making it after all these years.
07:23And it was well worth the wait.
