Servings: 4 people
Equipment
Ingredients
- 500 g diced beef shin
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 4 tsp chopped garlic
- 3 tsp chopped ginger
- 400 g tin chopped tomatoes
- 2 tbsp curry powder (I use medium, but go for mild if you don't want it too spicy)
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 red chilli (halved lengthways and deseeded)
- 2 cardamom pods
- 150 g natural yoghurt (or coconut yoghurt for dairy free)
Instructions
- Add the beef, oil, onion, garlic and ginger to a large pan (or use the slow cooker pan if it’s hob-safe) and fry for 5 minutes on a medium-high heat, until the beef browns. You can skip this step if you’re short on time but it adds a great flavour!
- Add the beef and onion mix to the slow cooker. Add the tinned tomatoes, curry powder, garam masala, salt, chilli halves and cardamom pods. Half-fill the empty tomato tin with water and add to slow cooker.
- Mix everything together well, place the lid on and cook on high for 4-6 hours or low for -10 hours.
- When ready to serve, spoon the yoghurt in and mix together well before dishing up with rice, gluten free naan bread and poppadoms.

Notes
- Short On Time? You can skip step 1 and just add everything straight into the slow cooker if you don't have time to brown it off. It'll still be delicious - I just think browning the meat with the aromatics intensifies the flavours.
- Variations: Want a spicier curry? Add some chopped red chilli instead of the halved chilli. Want a dairy free curry? Use coconut yoghurt instead of natural yoghurt.
- Storing and Freezing: Any leftovers can be kept in the fridge or frozen, then reheated thoroughly before eating. I actually think this tastes better the next day as the flavours mature in the fridge overnight!
