Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 tablespoons turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground coriander
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons grated ginger
  • 1 large onion thinly sliced
  • 1 pound thinly sliced beef
  • 3½ cup beef broth
  • 1 large apple peeled and grated
  • 3 large carrots peeled and cut into bite size pieces
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules decaf or regular
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 large potato peeled and cut into 1½ inch size pieces
  • ¼ cup rice flour
  • 6 cups cooked short grain rice or any rice

Instructions
 

  • Combiner the turmeric, cumin, smoked paprika and coriander in a small cup together. Set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, heat up the olive oil. Cook the garlic, ginger and onion together until the onion is tender and browned.
  • Add in the spice mix (from step1). Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add in the beef and cook until it starts to brown.
  • Add in the grated apple, carrots, and beef broth. Cover with a lid and simmer for 10 minutes. In the meantime, combine the Worcestershire sauce, tamari soy sauce, coffee granules and ketchup in a cup together to make the seasoning mix.
  • Add in the seasoning mix (from the previous step) and potato. Simmer for 15 more minutes or until the potato is perfectly cooked.
  • Place the rice flour in a small bowl. Scoop about ⅓ cup of curry broth out of the saucepan and add to the rice flour. Mix well until a paste forms. Add the mix to the curry. Simmer for 3-5 minutes until the curry thickens slightly.

Notes

Add chili powder or cayenne pepper if you would like to add some heat.
