Notes
- In a hurry? Skip the browning stage and simply add all the ingredients to your cooker. The curry will still taste great, I promise!
- I have added no extra liquid in this beef curry. The sauce is richer and thicker as a result and requires no cornflour to reduce it.
- If you prefer a spicy beef curry then replace the mild curry powder with a hot one or add a small amount of Madras powder. You can also use the whole chilli which will add more heat.
- A (practically) Syn-Free Slimming World curry - yay! This recipe is free provided you trim any fat from the beef and use sweetener instead of sugar. This has a tiny amount of syns, only ½ for the whole dish.
- Stir some fat-free yogurt into the curry at the end or simply serve some on the side. You can also add some coconut milk or cream if you like.
