Instructions for the Curry

  • In a medium/large pot over medium heat, coat the bottom of the pot with oil (a few Tbsps). Brown the meat on all sides, do not cook through.
  • Remove meat from heat and caramelize the onion, add more oil if needed to unstick. Once browned, mix in the ginger and garlic for a minute until aromatic.
  • Add carrots and potatoes and saute for a few minutes then add the beef back into the pot.
  • Cover with broth (you don't want meat or veggies above the water-line) and bring it to a boil. Skim off the fat, cover and let simmer on low for about 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are done.
  • Stir in the curry roux until dissolved and add the milk and honey.
  • The curry should be thick and lush. Serve with fresh rice
  • Enjoy!

  • Stir in the flour and cook until lightly browned, about 10-15 minutes
  • Add in the spices and stir for about a minute until well combined.
  • The roux should be thick and ready to be use in your curry.
