Beef Vindaloo
This is a recipe I used to make all the time pre-Dukan, and I've just realised it fits with the diet. This is an authentic vindaloo recipe from a Bangladeshi friend. It's not actually that hot, as the bird's eye chilli is added whole, so you can just cut up however much chilli you can brave when it's on your plate. It has a lovely flavour, and you don't have to buy a ton of ingredients. It also freezes really well.
Ingredients:
Beef (Diced) – 650 g
Onion (Chopped) – 2 medium
Garlic (Chopped) – 4 cloves
Ginger paste – 1 tsp
Chilli powder – 1 or 1½ tsp
Turmeric powder – 1 tsp
Coriander powder – 1 tsp
Cumin powder – 1 tsp
Ground black pepper – ½ tsp
Mustard powder (preferably freshly ground black mustard seeds)– 1 tsp
Malt vinegar – 2 tbsp
Chilli (Bird’s eye) - 4-5 or more! (add to the dish whole)
Method:
- Dry fry the chopped onion and garlic until soft
- Add 2 tbsp hot water and then add rest of the ingredients except the meat, cook for 5 minutes in medium heat
- Add meat and cook in low heat for at least 4-5 hours (I usually transfer it to the slow cooker and leave it all day!)
- Add the Bird's eye chilli and cover
- Serve hot!
