Indian Beef Curry

Prep time: 30 mins
Cook time:  8 hours slow cook
Serves: 6-8

Ingredients:

1kg cubed casserole beef
2 brown onions, thinly sliced
2 tsp ground cumin
2 tsp ground coriander
2 tsp garam marsala
1 tsp sweet paprika
1/2 tsp ground turmeric
  2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
1/2 cauliflower, cut into florets
6 carrots, peeled, thinly sliced 
1 cup chopped beans
1 tin coconut cream 
fresh coriander

Instructions:

• Put cubed beef in slow cooker and add enough water to cover.
• Cook on 'Low' heat for 6-8 hours.

Half an hour or so before serving:

• Brown the onions in a large pot on the stove. 
• Add the spices and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until aromatic. 
• Add 2 cups of beef stock (from the slow cooker) and tinned tomatoes and bring to a simmer.

Also, this makes a large amount.  Adding lots of veggies makes it go even further.  The leftovers taste great the next day. :)

For the meatballs mix

• 800g of grass fed beef mince (1.8 pounds ground beef)
• 3 medium dried chipotle chilies (tinned chipotle can also be used), seeds out
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander (cilantro)
• 2 large garlic cloves, finely diced
• 1 tsp ground coriander seed or powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin seed or powder

• 1 tsp ground cumin seed or powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• 2 bay leaves

Instructions

1. If using dried chipotle chilies, place in hot water for at least an hour before using to rehydrate.
2. Sauté the onion in lard or ghee for 3-5 minutes, until translucent. Use half of the onion in the meatball mix and reserve the rest for the sauce.

4. Combine beef mince with half of the cooked onion, chopped garlic, chipotle chilies, paprika, cumin, coriander seed, salt and olive oil. Combine and knead with your hands. Using clean, wet hands roll the mix into small balls (somewhere between a walnut and a golf ball size). Set aside until ready to cook.
5. Preheat a dollop of lard in the large frying pan until sizzling hot. Cook the meatballs on medium/high heat for 3 minutes on each side, until well browned.
6. Add the rest of the cooked onion, garlic, two chopped chilies and sauce spices to the pan with the meatballs. Stir through and add the tomato puree. Combine and cook for 8-10 minutes uncovered, stirring frequently to make sure the meatballs cook evenly and the sauce is well combined. Taste for salt.

Natural smoothies can be used as a supplement but keep in mind not to add any refined sugar, honey, etc. Fruits naturally contain enough sugar.

- In case your cravings take you over and you end up eating sugar, then don't regret. Move on and prepare yourself to be more stronger for the next time you crave.
