Fragrant South Indian Curry

Fragrant South Indian Curry

This was really good with beef but the basic recipie could be adapted to any number of things.  Very rich and spicy…

  1. 2 tablespoons canola oil
  2. 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
  3. 12 fresh curry leaves or 2 bay leaves
  4. 6 garlic cloves, grated
  5. 4 teaspoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger
  6. 1 tablespoon tomato paste dissolved in 1/2 cup of water
  7. 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  8. 1 teaspoon garam masala
  9. 1 teaspoon cayenne
  10. 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  11. 4 small dried hot chiles
  12. 4 star anise pods
  13. Two 3-inch cinnamon sticks
  14. 1 3/4 pounds boneless beef short ribs, cut into 3/4-inch pieces
  15. Salt
  1. In a medium enameled cast-iron casserole, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onion and curry leaves and cook over moderate heat until lightly browned, about 7 minutes. Add the garlic and ginger and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in the dissolved tomato paste along with the coriander, garam masala, cayenne, turmeric, dried chiles, star anise and cinnamon sticks. Add the ribs, season with salt and stir until coated with spices. Cover partially and cook over very low heat until the meat is tender, about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
