2 tablespoons canola oil
2 onions, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 heaped tablespoon curry powder - use your favourite. I use one I buy in the Asian grocer.
2 teaspoons each ground coriander, cumin, and turmeric
4 star anise
2 sticks cinnamon
500 grams beef mince
1 large can (800 grams) crushed tomatoes
1 cup red lentils
3 cups beef stock
2 teaspoons each salt and sugar
2 tablespoons tomato paste
3 cups shredded spinach leaves
Options -
Add 2 finely chopped carrots along with the beef mince.
Add chilli powder with the spices or fresh chilli with the onion.
Add some green peas & chopped broccoli at the spinach stage.
1: Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven and add onions, garlic and carrot and cook for 5 minutes.
2: Add all the spices and allow to sizzle briefly.
3: Add mince and cook stirring, until lightly browned then add remaining ingredients except spinach, bring to the boil and then cover and turn down heat.
4: Allow to simmer gently for 25 minutes and then remove lid and allow any excess liquid to cook away.
5: Add spinach & cook 3 minutes.
6: Remove cinnamon and star anise and serve with rice.
We normally skip the rice and eat this with plain Greek yogurt dolloped on top.
