BEEF CURRY WITH FRUIT
My sister-in-law sprang this one on me without telling me what was in it. That is probably a good thing because I may not have tried it had I known what was in it. This uses a strange mix of ingredients that I wouldn't have thought would go well together but they do.

BEEF CURRY WITH APPLES AND RAISINS
I experimented with curry powder this winter, while trying to add some new flavors into my culinary life. This recipe became a favorite way to enjoy beef. It's a mild, sweet curry with savory undertones. I've served it with both brown rice and couscous, and actually prefer the couscous. It takes some "simmer time" on the stove, but it's worth it!

Tips:
- Use high-quality beef: Opt for tender cuts like chuck roast or brisket for a flavorful and succulent curry.
- Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a mixture of spices, yogurt, and ginger-garlic paste helps tenderize the meat and infuse it with flavor.
- Choose the right fruits: The sweetness of fruits like mangoes, pineapples, and raisins complements the savory curry. Use fresh or dried fruits depending on your preference.
- Balance the flavors: Adjust the amount of chili and ginger-garlic paste according to your taste preferences. You can also add more fruits or coconut milk to create a milder flavor profile.
- Simmer patiently: Allow the curry to simmer over low heat for at least 1-2 hours to develop its flavors fully. Simmering helps tenderize the beef and allows the spices to meld together.
