20g coriander seeds (crushed)

1½tsp cumin seeds

3 cloves garlic (chopped)

1 thumb-sized piece ginger (peeled and chopped)

2 red chillies (chopped)

1tbsp Extra Special Cold-Pressed Rapeseed Oil

1 large onion (sliced)

700g Butcher’s Selection Diced Beef

1tsp turmeric powder

1 stalk Grower’s Selection Lemongrass

150g Chosen by you Easy Cook Basmati & Wild Rice, cooked according to the instructions on the packet

2tbsp chopped fresh coriander

Method

1
Whizz the coriander seeds, cumin seeds, garlic, ginger, chilli and 2tbsp water in a blender until it is a smooth paste. (Or use a pestle and mortar).
2
Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the onions and cook for 5 mins.
3
Add the beef and the spice paste. Increase the heat and stir the beef until it is browned well and completely coated with the spice paste – this will take a few minutes.
4
Add the turmeric, star anise and cardamom seeds, then the coconut milk, stock and bay leaf. Add the lemongrass, turn the heat up to high and bring to the boil.
5
Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the curry, stirring occasionally, until the sauce becomes thick and coats the meat – at least 1 hr-1 hr 30 mins.
6
Garnish with chopped fresh coriander and serve with the cooked rice, naan and lime wedges.
