Harak Mas Kariya | Beef Curry | RASA

Alu Mus Curry, or Beef and Potato Curry, is a delicious and hearty dish that reflects the rich and vibrant flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine. Whenever the weather is cold, dark, and gloomy I love to make this dish to help cozy up. Its a filling dish with enough spice and heat to help warm you up. The tender beef chunks and potatoes are sauteed together and a traditional Sri Lankan spice blend is added in. The spice blend is a mix of paprika, roasted curry powder, cumin, and a generous helping of toasted curry leaves. Add some chopped tomatoes for a burst of freshness.

To finish, garnish with more fresh curry leaves and cilantro, adding an earthy depth to this already flavourful dish.

Instructions

Prepare vegetables; chop the onions, garlic, ginger, green chilli. Cut the tomato into cubes. Peel and cut the potatoes into 1’’ cubes.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Toss in all the vegetables except the tomato.
Once the onions have started to sweat, add 1 tbsp of water and cover the pan with a lid.
Add spices
After 3-4 mins, lower the heat and add the beef chunks.
Pour in 1 tbsp of vinegar and toss in all the remaining spices and coconut milk. Keep the lid closed, and let it simmer.
Once the beef has been browned and potatoes become soft when a fork is inserted; remove the pan from heat.
Let the curry cool for about 5-10 mins and then squeeze half a lime
Garnish with cilantro and its ready to serve!
