    Instructions

    (Stops screen from sleeping)

    1 Break cinnamon in small pieces and place in a large non-stick pan with cloves. While stirring, heat over a low heat for a few minutes to release flavours. Remove from pan and set aside. The pan is now left aromatic for the curry.

    2 Add oil to pan and heat. Add beef and cook until evenly browned. Add onion and ginger and cook for a few more minutes. Add paste and toss beef to coat evenly.

    3 Add coconut milk, water, stock, potatoes, carrots, fish sauce, sugar and tamarind paste with reserved dry-fried spices. Bring to the boil, cover. Transfer to oven and cook for 1 1/2 hours, stirring a couple of times until meat is tender and potatoes are cooked. Remove cinnamon pieces.

    4 Serve on a bed of spinach with a sprinkling of peanuts and fresh coriander if you prefer.

    Variations

    Make it gluten free: Check pastes and fish sauce are gluten free and use gluten-free stock.

    HFG tip

    • This curry tastes even better reheated and eaten a day later.
    • Tamarind paste can be found in the Asian aisle of supermarkets.
