Cauliflower and Spinach Beef Curry
Method
- Heat a splash of olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium-high heat and fry the onions for about 10 minutes or until soft and translucent.
- Whilst the onions are cooking, slice the beef chuck into bite size cubes roughly 2cm x 2cm and set aside.
- Add the garlic, ginger, curry powder, chilli powder, turmeric, cloves and cinnamon stick to the onions and fry for a minute or two.
- Stir in the beef and sauté until it is coated in the spices and evenly browned.
- Pour the coconut milk and cauliflower florets into the saucepan and bring to the boil.
- Cover with a tight fitting lid and simmer on a low heat for 1 hour stirring occasionally to prevent the sauce from catching on the bottom of the saucepan.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and mix in the ground almonds and spinach leaves. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- To serve this cauliflower and spinach beef curry, remove the cinnamon stick and garnish with fresh coriander leaves and toasted almond slivers.

Tips & Tricks
Use hot curry powder instead of mild or add a fresh chilli if you are looking for something a little hotter. If you cannot find ground almonds, you can crush whole almonds using a mortar and pestle.
