Number Of Ingredients 21

Ingredients

85ml oil
1 tsp fenugreek seeds
1 tsp mustard seeds
2 garlic cloves , chopped
2-3 green chillies , chopped
1 thumb-sized piece ginger , grated
10 curry leaves
2 onions , sliced
2 tsp chilli powder
1 ½ tsp turmeric
300ml fish stock
1½ tbsp coconut milk powder
2 tbsp tamarind pulp water
2 tomatoes , cut into chunks
10g fresh drumstick leaves (optional)
500g white crabmeat (use ready prepped or pick your own)
20g brown crabmeat (use ready prepped or pick your own)
cooked rice , to serve
115g frozen or fresh grated coconut
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp peppercorns

Steps:

First, make the paste. Dry-roast the coconut, cumin seeds and peppercorns until golden, then pound using a pestle and mortar or blend to a smooth paste.
Heat the oil in a saucepan, add the fenugreek and mustard seeds and cook until they start to crackle. Add the garlic, green chilli, ginger, curry leaves and onion, sauté until golden, then add the chilli powder, turmeric and coconut paste. Cook for 10-15 mins, making sure the mixture doesn't stick - add a splash of water if you need to. Add the fish stock and reduce until the mixture thickens a little.
Add the coconut milk powder, tamarind pulp and tomatoes and stir in the drumstick leaves, if using. Season with salt and cook for 10 mins. Check the seasoning, then add the mixed crabmeat and heat through, stirring gently. Serve with rice.

SRI LANKA BEEF CURRY

Provided by Rob Murney

Categories World Cuisine Recipes Asian

Time 2h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

3 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch cubes
6 cloves garlic
1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger root - peeled, sliced and crushed
3 ½ tablespoons white vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
1 tablespoon curry powder, toasted
1 ½ tablespoons cayenne pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
8 fresh curry leaves
4 strips pandan leaf
1 onion, sliced
1 (1 inch) piece cinnamon stick
4 green cardamom pods
2 whole cloves
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 cup water
1 cup thick coconut milk

Steps:

Rinse the beef and pat dry. Crush the garlic cloves into a paste and combine it with the crushed ginger. Add the vinegar, salt, pepper, roasted curry powder, and cayenne. Mix in the beef cubes and toss to coat. Set aside for 30 minutes.
Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the curry leaves and pandan strips. Stir in the onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes.
Mix in the beef cubes and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. Stir in the cinnamon stick, cardamom pods, and cloves. Add the tomato paste and water and mix well.
Simmer, covered, on low heat for 1 1/2 hours or until the meat is tender. Check the curry every half hour; you may need to add more water (up to 1 cup) if the curry is too dry and is sticking to the pan.
Add the coconut milk and heat through. Taste and adjust the seasonings before serving.
