Mork & Mindy

A cold Saturday night called for something warm and hearty for dinner.  Although Mark and I had already decided on making this curry, the weather was just perfect for it!  After a short hike to the supermarket to gather ingredients, and a miserable walk back to the apartment in the rain, cooking began.

First came the garlic and onions, which were fried in oil to goldeny perfection by Mark.  I usually do all the chopping and preparation, while Mark does the actual cooking!

Next, the spices were added.  Chilli powder, cummin, turmeric, garlic, mustard, paprika and a few teaspoons of vinegar were combined to form a paste, then chucked into the pot.

Next comes the beef!  We put in about 700g of beef blade steak.  Neither of us know which cut of meat makes a good curry, but this one turned out well.

Dinner ready to be eaten – steamed rice, curry and microwaved papadums! We had a bit of drama with them, microwaving them turned out to be the easiest manner in which to prepare a tasty papadum!

Yum! The curry was very good, and made for a good meal to fill us up before going out. I love making curries because they are so easy – just chuck everything into a pot and its ready to go! They also really warm you up during cold wintery nights.
