A bowl of somewhat lazy tomato based curry made with stew beef and served with jasmine rice, some toasted naan with garlic honey butter, and garnished with some cilantro :)
(Somewhat lazy because I cheated making the “sauce”, using a jar of curry sauce in addition to the aromatics I fried up, supplemented with a bunch of additional spices)
Well it looks delicious! Thanks for sharing.
Looks amazing and I want some please!
Looks good! What kind of sauce is it, and what did you out in it to spice it up.
The sauce is a jar of tikka masala sauce from aldi ($3.55 where I live). In retrospect an additional jar of sauce would have been even better, so I’ll be keeping that in mind for next time
I fried up some diced onion, grated carrot, diced jalapeño, and minced ginger & garlic for my aromatics (I have carrot in the fridge I need to use up, and it makes a decent arromatic so I figured why not).
And in terms of spices I used garlic powder onion powder, clove, cumin, coriander, black pepper and maybe some other things I’m forgetting off the top of my head, not sure. I wanna get some garam masala to try, but its pretty expensive 😅 like most spices
Sounds good! Thank you for the response. Do you happen to know the brand of the sauce?
Aldi almost only carries store brand stuff, which is a big part of why theyre so cheap. The store brand for their flavors of curry sauce (I think there are 3 flavors) is called “cook house”. If you’re on a tight budget aldi is an amazing option for grocery shopping (just bring a quarter if you need a grocery cart, you get it back when you’re done with the cart. And reusable grocery bags if you need them, they don’t have disposable ones but you can buy reusable ones while checking out if you need to)
But honestly pretty much any tikka masala sauce will work pretty well if you’re gonna add a whole bunch of stuff to dress it up, or even just any tomato based curry sauce. The brand shouldn’t make much of difference
If you’re gonna go make yourself some curry I hope it turns out delicious!!
That looks so tasty. Doesn’t look like there’s enough curry for the rice and naan though.
I agree, this is the very last of the curry I made, and I try to stretch it as far as possible 😅
Next time I think I wanna add more aromatics, another jar of sauce, and maybe cut the pieces of beef in half again- I feel like that’d stretch it further while still giving me a more enjoyable curry to rice ratio, there was a lot of meat relative to the sauce this time.
this looks great, good job!
![[Homemade] not as impressive as some of the others, but I really enjoyed eating and making this Beef Curry(lemmy.world)](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/c6eabb3a-7a02-4870-98c7-88d13a472aa6.jpeg){kind=link}
