Potato and Beef Curry

Note: This dish needs a skillet or pot with a lid large enough to hold all of the ingredients.

Preheat a skillet with a few tablespoons of olive oil to medium-high heat. Add onion and cook for 3 minutes to soften and brown slightly, stirring as you go. Add garlic and tomato paste and stir for 1 minute.

Add beef and the curry powder(s) and stir for 5 minutes, letting the meat brown and get coated in the spices. If mixture seems dry, drizzle in some more oil.

Pour 1 cup water into the skillet and stir to form a curry sauce. Cover the curry with the lid and let cook for 15 minutes, then remove the lid, stir the curry, and add more water if it seems dry, about 1/2 cup at a time.

After about 1 hour, taste the curry sauce and add salt to your preference, at least a teaspoon at this point. Add potatoes and remaining 1 cup water, stir to combine.

Repeat the process once the potatoes are in the curry. Stir, taste, add salt and water to maintain a consistent curry sauce. After about 2 hours total, the meat should be very tender and the potatoes cooked through.

When the meat is fork tender, adjust the sauce consistency with water one more time, and add a few more sprinkles of salt if needed.

Serve over rice or with naan for dipping. Enjoy!
