How to Make

  • Step 1: Preheat oven to 150 degree C (300 degree F).

  • Step 2: Peel and dice vegetables.

  • Step 3: Mix curry powder, mustard powder and sugar together.

  • Step 4: Trim and dice meats into large bit size pieces.

  • Step 5: Coat meat with seasoned flour (best way I found is to put flour in a large bowl and in batches put the meat in to be coated, shake of excess and cook that batch continue to all meat used).

  • Step 6: In a heavy duty pot (suitable for oven) put in oil (enough to cover bottom of pot) and over medium/high heat cook meat in batches to seal, set to one side, keep warm covered with alfoil or use a casserole dish with lid.

  • Step 7: Wipe pot clean (to get rid of burnt flour).

  • Step 8: Heat 2 tablepoons oil over medium high heat, cook potatoes and sweet potatoe for 10 minutes. Turn heat down to low.

  • Step 9: Remove potatoes with slotted spoon onto a plate and put to one side.

  • Step 10: Add more oil if required and turn heat up to medium/high and add onion and saute till soft. Turn heat to low.

  • Step 11: Remove with slotted spoon and add to potatoes.

  • Step 12: Over medium heat add curry powder, mustard powder and sugar mixture and the garlic cook till fragrant (about 1/2 to 1 minute).

  • Step 13: Add vegetables to curry mixture and cook for 2 to 3 minutes of medium/high heat.

  • Step 14: Now add the meat and mix well with the vegetables.

  • Step 15: Add carrot, beef stock, tomatoes, lancanshire (or worcestershire),fresh herbs, cayenne pepper, chilli powder and ginger powder. Mix well together.

  • Step 16: If meat and vegetables are not covered in liquid, top up with water and stir.

  • Step 17: Put lid on pot and put into oven for 3 - 4 hours, till meat is tender, stirring occasionally.

  • Step 18: Just before serving add extra tablespoon of fresh herbs (chop just before using).

  • Step 19: Serve with rice.
