If you love Indian food just as I do and love those spicy, dry curries that they serve in many Indian restaurants then make this beef and potato curry.
The flavors of this dish are so rich.
You absolutely don’t want to spoil the fragrant Indian dish by adding any more side dishes to it, unless of course, you want to make a full out Indian themed dinner spread.
But for a cozy family dinner, a few pieces of garlic bread or a small portion of rice would be more than enough.
You can also serve the beef and potato curry with some hot parathas.
Meal ideas for the beef and potato curry.
As mentioned earlier naans, parathas, roti, or any type of flatbreads are a great accompaniment to beef and potato curry.
You can add a fresh salad on the side, just so you’ll feel better knowing you are eating your greens.
Since the curry is dry, if you really want to add another dish,
I would suggest an Indian dal curry and if you are serving with rice, I would also suggest keeping it plain(as in not adding spices or ghee to the rice) and the portion small.
Can I substitute beef with other types of meat to make this curry?
Yes, In fact, this is a dish where you usually use mutton and lamb called, alu gosht Kari.
The difference is that I’ve used beef since mutton and lamb can be a little too expensive for our daily meals.
Using beef for this Indian beef curry makes it a versatile dish you can try any time.
Kitchen Utensils and appliances.
Cutting board, knife, peeler, your favorite wooden spoon and a large cooking pan to assemble and cook the curry.
Which cuts of beef should I choose to make the Indian curry?
Topside, chuck steak, round steak would be preferable.
