Indian Beef Curry

I love Indian food, and this is a flavorful beef curry that isn’t very spicy.  You could add chili peppers to it to make it hot, but I think the spices blend well without the peppers.  I usually use my pressure cooker to make it since it cuts the preparation time from about 2 hours to 45 minutes.  But since most people don’t have a pressure cooker I included instructions on how to make it without one. The pressure cooker is a very useful kitchen appliance though, and can cut cooking time dramatically.  I actually find my pressure cooker more useful than my crockpot.

1 thought on “Indian Beef Curry”

  1. I am from India and my religion is Hindu. Eating beef is against our religion b/c the cow is considered sacred. We consider the cow as our mother. She gives us milk.

    As is always the case, there are degrees of orthodoxy.
