Basic Curried Mince Food

MINCED BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium hot pan.
• Brown onions. Throw a little dash of salt on the onions. Stops them burning.
• Put the garlic in the pan and cook for about 1 min.
• Move the onions and garlic to the side of the pan and brown the mince.
• If a lot of liquid comes off the mince pour it into a little bowl hang onto it for later.
• Once the mince is brown, turn up the heat and let it sit in the pan for about 4 mins until you get some searing on the meat. This is where the flavour is going to come from.
• Mix the liquid from the meat if not too fatty, stock cube and dashes of worcestershire sauce. Keep to one side.
• When mince is browner -- lower the heat to medium add the curry powder and cook for 1 minute.
• Add the stock liquid, make sure this is well mixed.
• Add the coconut milk. Mix well. Once simmering lower the heat and cook for about 20 minutes This gets better with time.
• If the curry is too strong use the leftover milk from the coconut milk tin to thin. Usually 400 ml in a tin.
• Serve with rice, put some veg with it or the carb police will be after me! :D.

MINCE CURRY RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large pot or saucepan, add 3 tablespoons of olive oil, and then all of the mince.
• When the meat is just slightly cooked, add the onions, garlic, and all of the spices.
• Once this mixture has browned, add the finely chopped tomato, potatoes, carrot, and green pepper along with the canned tomato.
• Add the cup of water, so that the vegetables can cook by themselves for a while.
• Once it starts to boil, turn the heat down to a low-medium, and take it easy.
• It should cook like this for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little water occasionally if you feel like it may burn, but be careful not to make it saucy.
• Once the potatoes start to soften, you know that this easy mince curry recipe is coming to its finishing line.
• Check the flavour and if you're happy with the slight curry kick. If you'd like it to be hotter, add a little cayenne pepper. You can also add salt and pepper until you're satisfied.

CURRIED MINCE MACARONI

• Now add the chopped tomatoes,green chillies,lime juice and the chopped coriander,and mix well.
• Cover the pan and let cook on low flame for 15 mins,till you can see some oil on the top of the curry.
• Cook the pasta as per instructions (a little under done).
• Mix the pasta in the curry and let cook on the lowest flame for a further 5-10 minutes.
• The entire dish should be saucy-- Garnish with a few coriander leaves.
• I usually serve it with some yogurt chutney.
• NOTE:.
• The yogurt might break up due to the heat,so please don't worry about it.It is just a process,that will make the curry,taste tangy rather than creamy.
• I wanted to add a few sugesstions to this recipe after reading the reviews -- the oil can be reduced if your mince is fatty,this is just an estimate,so go by your judgement -- as for the tomatoes,i usually add tin when fresh is not available,and personally i feel it doesnot alter the taste -- .
