Method

  • step 1

    Using a large, non-stick lidded wok or saucepan, heat the oil over a medium flame, add the cardamom, cinnamon, cumin and coriander seeds. Once the spices start to sizzle, add the onions and stir-fry until light golden brown.

  • step 2

    Add the garlic and ginger, and cook for 1 min until it no longer smells raw. Add a splash of water if the garlic and ginger start to stick to the pan, then add the tomatoes and cook until soft.

  • step 3

    Add 1 tsp salt, red chilli powder and the beef, turn up the heat and stir-fry until the meat is sealed on all sides. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover loosely and cook for about 10 mins.

  • step 4

    Turn up the heat and add the grated beetroots. Stir-fry for a few mins, then cover the pan, reduce the heat and cook for 1 hr 15 mins or until the meat is tender. Stir from time to time and add a little water if the curry becomes dry.

  • step 5

    The finished dish should be a thick mushy curry with chunky, tender beef pieces and softened beetroots. Sprinkle with the coriander leaves and green chilli; add a squeeze of lime, and serve with naan or basmati rice.

question

If doing in the slow cooker do i just put everything in and cook? or best to do the first few steps?

Hi, thanks for your question. Either will work well but you'll get more flavour and a better colour if you follow steps 1-3 before transferring to the slow cooker. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

This is one of the best things I have cooked for ages! So tasty. The spices were really fragrant and the beetroot was an inspired touch. I was worried that I had overcooked the spices at the start, but obviously hadn't - maybe that is a sign that I don't usually cook then enough in curry recipes.…
