Leftover Roast Beef Curry

Report

Leftover Roast Beef Curry with a touch of coconut milk, a delicious curry recipe that is ready in about 30 minutes. It's easy to make, it's full of flavour, and it goes down well with the whole family. As good as a classic beef recipe, but a lot quicker. My beef curry is such a treat any day of the year.

Instructions

Peel and chop the onion, garlic and ginger.
Heat up the oil in a large pan, add the onion and fry on a medium heat until it softens.
Add the garlic and ginger together with the spices.
Stir for 30 seconds until the spices release their fragrance, then add the chopped tomatoes and cream, followed by the cooked beef and half a cup of water.
Place the lid on and cook for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens.
Check if it needs any more seasoning, then garnish with fresh parsley or coriander.

Notes

If you do want to use yogurt though, this can be added towards the end once the sauce has thickened. Make sure the yogurt is at room temperature, otherwise it will curdle. If it's still cold, add a few tablespoons of the hot sauce to it, mix it well, then add it to the pan.
Any leftover veggies can be added too, root vegetables would be particularly nice to up the nutritional value and add even more goodness. Otherwise fresh ones can be used as well just after the spices have been added. Peppers of any colours, carrots or squash are a few veggies that work well here.
Any other leftover meat can be used instead of beef, chicken, pork or lamb are some great options here. Do give it a try, it' quick, it's very easy to make, and so delicious too!
