Beef Vindaloo Curry
I love cooking curries and this one was the first of a kind being cooked in Tajine (slow cooker).
Very easy to make and very tasty too :)
Meat Preparation
You will need 1,5 kg beef cut into small chunks. Rub the chunks with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp ground black pepper
Fry the Meat..
Place your Tajine on stove, the lowest heat to warm it up...
Pour 4-5 tbs of vegetable oil inside and when it heats up add the meat pieces too.
Add Onion and Spices..
After the meat has sealed.. fried for like 10minutes - scoop it out and set aside in a warm place.
Add 3yellow onions - chopped and fry for about 8minutes...
Then add 2tsp black or brown mustard seeds and fry slowly till they pop...
Add Garlic and Ginger..more Spices..
Once the seeds have popped up - add 8-10 cloves garlic minced and 2" minced(grated) fresh ginger...
