I love curry. It’s really easy to make clean and healthy, and no matter which type you make it is filled with flavour. I could eat curry all day every day. I think it comes from my Mum making the most delicious curries when I was small (although I don’t think her’s were healthy…), and from always making sure I ate what they ate when we had dinner out at the local Indian restaurant. I’m determined to learn to “thecleanmenu” samosas, naans and bombay aloo. Watch this space.

This curry is seriously hearty. By simmering as you cook the beef becomes soft and tender and soaks up all the delicious spices. Make a big batch for friends and show off your kitchen skillz.
