Beef Curry With Spinach (Palak Ghost) image

From an Indian chef in Hamburg. All I can say is Awesome! We have made this multiple times and each time we love it more and more. The combination sounds a bit odd at first, but if you like Indian food at all, you will love this recipe.

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 lbs stewing beef (can be made with lamb too)
16 ounces chicken broth
5 shallots, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 serrano pepper, finely chopped
5 cloves
1/4 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
3 cardamom, capsules
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
2 teaspoons cumin
2 teaspoons turmeric
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garam masala
8 ounces heavy cream
1 lb fresh spinach

Steps:

  • Put cloves, peppercorns, bay leaves, and cardamom capsules in a metal tea filter ( the kind that is a ball with a hook and chain on it).
  • Heat 3 TB oil in a large pot over medium-high heat and sear the meat in 3 batches until browned. Remove the meat and salt it.
  • Add another 3 TB oil in the pot and sauté the onions, chile, garlic, and ginger until onions are translucent.
  • Add the meat and sprinkle with the chile powder, curcuma, garam masala, and cumin.
  • Stir well until all is coated with the powdered spices (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Add enough chicken broth until meat is covered, add the tea filter with the spices, cover and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer for 90 minutes.
  • Remove spice filter, and add the heavy cream, let simmer for 30 minutes more, do not let it boil! Adjust seasonings ( we usually need more salt here, and maybe a bit more heat).
  • Clean and wash the spinach.
  • Add the fresh spinach to the pot right before serving, and incorporate it, stirring it into the curry just until it becomes soft, about 1 minute. Serve immediately, with rice.

The beef was a bit tough, but the curry was flavorful. I think I would try a different cut of beef next time.
