BURMESE BEEF CURRY

Steps:

• Place the onions, ginger and garlic in a food processor and process until smooth.
• Add the chili powder, and turmeric and paprika until combined.
• Heat the oil until smoking point is reached, then add the contents of the processor or blender.
• Be very careful as this mix will splutter as it hits the very hot oil.
• Stir into the oil, reduce the heat of your burner to low, cover, and cook for about 30 minutes.
• You will need to stir fairly regularly, and be patient.
• The mix will begin to evaporate, start to smell sweeter and eventually turn a redish brown, with the oil seperating to the edges.
• It may take more than 30 minutes, like I said, be patient!
• Mix the cumin, coriander and salt together and massage through the steak pieces.
• Add the steak and potatoes to the onion mix, fry for a couple of minutes, then add the water.
• Bring to the boil, stirring, then reduce the heat and cover.
• Cook for about 30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
• Remove the lid, increase the heat and cook for a further 15 minutes or until the sauce is thickened and reduced.
• Serve over plain rice.

BURMESE CHICKEN CURRY

Steps:

• Rub chicken thighs with curry powder, garam masala, salt. Cover and set aside. Place onion, garlic, ginger, cayenne pepper, and paprika in a blender with 2 tablespoons of water and blend into a smooth paste.
• Heat the oil in a large, lidded skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion mixture until darkened, about 7 minutes. Stir in chicken thighs and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then add tomatoes, lemon grass, and fish sauce. Cook for 2 minutes. Stir in 1 cup of water and bring the curry to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to low and cook until the chicken begins to fall apart, stirring occasionally, 25 to 35 minutes. Remove lid and increase heat. Cook until the sauce is reduced, about 5 minutes. Skim off excess oil from the top and discard.
