BURMESE BEEF CURRY



Burmese Beef Curry image

This is based on a Charmane Soloman recipe. It's really important to be patient carrying out the initial frying. Altough the ingredients are simple, the initial frying provides the flavour. I serve this over rice, with fresh coriander to garnish.

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large onions, roughly chopped
5 garlic cloves
2 inches gingerroot, peeled
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons oil
750 g beef steaks, cut into largish pieces, i used rump
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
375 g potatoes, peeled quartered or 3 large potatoes
2 cups water

Steps:

  • Place the onions, ginger and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth.
  • Add the chili powder, and turmeric and paprika until combined.
  • Heat the oil until smoking point is reached, then add the contents of the processor or blender.
  • Be very careful as this mix will splutter as it hits the very hot oil.
  • Stir into the oil, reduce the heat of your burner to low, cover, and cook for about 30 minutes.
  • You will need to stir fairly regularly, and be patient.
  • The mix will begin to evaporate, start to smell sweeter and eventually turn a redish brown, with the oil seperating to the edges.
  • It may take more than 30 minutes, like I said, be patient!
  • Mix the cumin, coriander and salt together and massage through the steak pieces.
  • Add the steak and potatoes to the onion mix, fry for a couple of minutes, then add the water.
  • Bring to the boil, stirring, then reduce the heat and cover.
  • Cook for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Remove the lid, increase the heat and cook for a further 15 minutes or until the sauce is thickened and reduced.
  • Serve over plain rice.

BURMESE CURRY AND RICE



Burmese Curry and Rice image

This sounds simple but is elegant and fun. If you like curry, you will like this. The recipe came from a missionary's daughter who grew up in Burma. When she grew up and came home to the United States she fashioned the ingredients to fit what was available to her. In Burma the people would eat mostly rice and if they had anything to go with the rice they were fortunate. She said that this is like a banquet meal for them. You will have most everything on hand for this meal. It is delicious. The flavors blend wonderfully well. Have some people in for dinner they will have fun preparing their plate.

BURMESE CHICKEN CURRY (GAENG GAI BAMA)



Burmese Chicken Curry (Gaeng Gai Bama) image

This is actually a northern Thai dish with a definite Burmese influence. I first ate it in a Burmese restaurant in Melbourne, Australia. I asked for the recipe and of course I didn't get it. I later experimented with some Thai recipes and came up with this final result. We really love this with steamed jasmine rice. It's quite a hot and spicy dish, so if you want it a bit mild, check the curry paste you use first. You can replace coconut milk with evaporated milk, but traditionally, coconut milk is a must.

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

¼ cup vegetable oil
8 shallots, thinly sliced
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken meat, cut into large pieces
2 tablespoons red curry paste
1 tablespoon curry powder
½ cup coconut milk
¼ cup pureed tomato
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon palm sugar
2 medium tomatoes, cut into wedges
1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a medium skillet over low heat, and stir fry the shallots until browned and tender. Drain, reserving the oil, and set aside.
  • Place the chicken in the skillet with the reserved oil, and stir in the curry paste and curry powder to evenly coat. Pour in enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover skillet, and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
  • Stir the coconut milk, tomato puree, fish sauce, palm sugar, and 1/2 the tomato wedges into the skillet. Cook and stir over low heat until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Mix in the remaining tomatoes, and continue cooking until tender. Top with cilantro and the fried shallots to serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality beef: Opt for tender cuts like flank steak, tenderloin, or sirloin for the best results.
  • Marinate the beef: Marinating the beef in a flavorful mixture of spices and herbs helps tenderize the meat and imparts delicious flavors.
  • Sear the beef: Searing the beef in a hot skillet creates a flavorful crust and locks in the juices.
  • Use a variety of spices: Burmese curries typically use a blend of spices like turmeric, coriander, cumin, and chili powder. Adjust the amount of each spice to suit your taste preferences.
  • Cook the curry low and slow: Simmering the curry over low heat allows the flavors to develop and deepen.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Finish the curry with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, basil, or mint for a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Burmese beef curry is a delicious and flavorful dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. With its tender beef, aromatic spices, and creamy coconut milk, this curry is a perfect meal for any occasion. So, gather your ingredients, put on your apron, and let's start cooking!
