Hi everyone!
Today I will share with you all how I made this beef curry that I posted on my Instagram (@Seonkyoung) a few days ago and shared my Twitter (@Seonkyoung).
I sharing this because I’ve go a request from a Twitter follower @AnaLivesHerLife. Thank you Ana for the request! 🙂
It’s very easy and simple to make, because we are using already pre-made curry paste.
I just found this Patak’s curry paste(Exactly same one as shown the picture above) from local Asian market and wanted to give it a try. To make 2 to 4 servings you will need a few Tablespoons (about 1/3 of jar) instead of whole entire jar, which is I love! One day, I had some beef chuck in my refrigerator that I had no idea what to do, so I decided to give this curry paste a try! I was going to follow the direction, but I figured it won’t be enough flavor as I want it. So I made my own way. I added some chicken stock and coconut milk instead of just water and for vegetables and I used large diced onion, yellow squash and cherry tomatoes. Oh, I added 1 Serano pepper that I ground to make this mild curry to spicy curry! lol I finished with chopped cilantro right on top and served with jasmine rice instead Indian basmati rice. 🙂
If you want to give this a try, please do! I’m just so happy that I found a new way to enjoy my semi-homemade curry at home! 🙂
