The Beauty of Handmade Kitchen Utensils

Preparation

Drain chillies then deseed and pound with all the other spices in a pestle and mortar using a little coconut milk to help make a smooth paste.

Pour this over the diced beef and mix well to marinate.

Meanwhile, fry the grated coconut in oil on a low heat for 5-10 minutes then once golden brown, grind in a blender adding all of the other stock ingredients.

Cooking

Next, fry the marinated beef in oil over a moderate heat until it starts to colour and the spices become fragrant and aromatic.

Pour over the coconut milk and water, stir well and leave to simmer for 1-1.5 hours until the oils from the coconut become visible and the sauce has almost completely evaporated; stir occasionally.

Finally, add in the blended stock mix and simmer for a further 15 minutes. Done!
