Spicy South African Malay curry with cayenne pepper.
Ingredients:
  • 4 cardamom pods, bruised (see note)
  • 7.50 gm sweet paprika
  • 2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1 tsp ground turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • 1.2kg gravy beef, fat trimmed, cut into 4cm pieces
  • 4cm-piece ginger, peeled, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 27.60 gm grapeseed oil
  • 1 brown onion, coarsely chopped
  • 375ml (1 1/2 cups) chicken style liquid stock
  • 250ml (1 cup) crushed tomatoes
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) water
  • Saffron rice, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a glass bowl, mix together the beef, ginger, garlic, cardamom, paprika, coriander, cayenne pepper, turmeric, cumin, allspice, and cinnamon. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill in the fridge for 1 hour.
  • In a saucepan over medium heat, sauté the onion until light golden, about 5 minutes. Add the beef mixture and cook until browned, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes. Then, stir in the stock, tomato, and water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low.
  • Simmer the beef partially covered, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour and 50 minutes, or until almost tender. Uncover and simmer for an additional 10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Serve over rice.
