This beef Madras curry builds its flavour gradually. The beef is browned first, then left to simmer with onion, ginger, cardamom and Madras curry paste until tender, creating a rich, aromatic base with plenty of warmth.
Mutti Whole Peeled Tomatoes soften slowly as the curry cooks, releasing their juices into the spices and beef. The result is a deep, full-bodied tomato curry sauce that brings balance to the heat of the Madras paste while keeping the dish rich and comforting.
Serve this Madras beef curry with fluffy basmati rice and warm chapati to catch every spoonful of sauce. A dollop of thick yoghurt on top adds a cool contrast to the spices and makes this slow-cooked dish even more satisfying.
