I was about to take a photo of my freshly cooked Beef Curryâcreamy, rich, and still steamingâwhen I realized I wasnât alone. Right in front of me sat my unexpected food inspector: a little tabby cat with the most serious expression Iâve ever seen.
He didnât blink.
He didnât move.
He just stared at the curry like he was the official guardian of flavor.
It was as if he was saying,
âHuman⊠you better not mess this recipe up."

Remove these aromatics from the pan but keep the infused oil, as it carries the flavor.

Add the chopped beef brisket.
Sauté for 5 minutes, stirring well.
Season with black pepper and mix thoroughly.

Build the Curry Broth
Pour in 800 ml boiling water and 800 ml coconut milk.
Stir gently.
Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat.
Cover and simmer for 1 hour (add more time if the brisket still needs softening).
Add the Vegetables
Once the beef is tender, add the potatoes.
Simmer for 8 minutes, or until halfway cooked.
Final Seasoning
Add the sliced white onions.

Simmer for an additional 3 minutes to blend the flavors.
