Ingredients

  • 240g lean braising steak, cut into chunks
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 1 pepper (any colour), deseeded and chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 2 tins chopped tomatoes
  • 2 tablespoons mango chutney
  • 2 tablespoons tomato purée
  • 300ml water
  • 200g easy-cook long grain white rice

Directions

1

Brown the beef in a large saucepan or flameproof casserole dish over a low heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Information: For a vegetarian version, use soya chunks instead of beef.

2

Add the peppers, carrots and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring often to stop it from sticking, adding a little water if necessary.

3

Add the curry powder and stir well to mix, then add the tomatoes, mango chutney, 300ml water and the tomato purée. Cover and simmer gently for between 90 minutes and 2 hours, or until the meat is tender, adding more water if necessary. Information: For extra heat, add a generous pinch of dried chilli flakes along with the curry powder.

4

About 15 minutes before serving, cook the rice according to packet instructions. Serve with the curry. Information: You could make this in a slow cooker, transferring it at step 3 – though you will not need the 300ml water.
