Beef Curry (Indian)

W123-80's

Hi guys,

I'm looking for suggestions on a good paste to use for a nice Indian Beef Curry.

I've had a look at Curry Addicts recipie over in the cooking club forum and will def be trying that when I have a little more time.

Basically my brother and his wife will be visiting tonight and I had planned on a beef curry - Indian if possible. I am hoping to include coconut milk in the recipie and possible tinned tomatoes, amongst other things!

Unfortunately I don't have time this evening to pick up all the spices required to make a curry from scratch so am looking for suggestions on a good paste/powder.

Any simple recipies would be greatle accepted too..!!

Thanks in advance

i suggest using my recipe with a shop bought curry powder. it should still work pretty well.

Excellent. Thanks.!

Just so I'm clear - you are recommending using a shop bought curry powder as a substitute for your malaysian spice mix?
Any particular one that you would recommend?

And follow the main recipie otherwise I assume.

I actually picked up a bag of Indian Spice mix in Aldi yesterday.
I'm considering including this somehow, not sure if I should use it along with curry powder/paste or on its own.
There is not musch info on what it is made for on the pack!

Is the palm sugar/Fish Sauce/Oyster Sauce vital?? I'll pick them up if they are going to make a difference.

Finally as its a beef curry, I assume I substitute the chicken stock with beef stock?

Sorry for all the questions.:o

Cheers.

i cant recommend a shop bought brand as i never use them
the aldi one is probably grand but only use it to sub for the malaysian spice mix.
u can use salt instead of fish sauce but be carefull and add a little at a time and taste.
u can use normal white sugar instead of palm sugar.
oyster sauce is a must have....
use chicken stock even with beef.
if you keep the balance similar to the recipe it should work our very tasty.
