Sri Lankan Beef & Tamarind Curry Recipe

Melt ghee in large saucepan and seal beef on high heat and set aside.

Reduce heat to moderate and saute the onion, garlic and ginger until onion is transparent.

Add turmeric, crushed red chillies and Sri Lankan Curry Powder, cook for 1 minute, then add the beef again together with the cinnamon, salt, curry leaves and strained tamarind water. Mix well and cook for 10 minutes.

Add coconut milk and continue cooking, uncovered, until meat is tender on a low simmer. If liquid evaporates too much, then add a little water.
