What do you need for Bombay Beef Curry?
To prepare this Slow Cooker Bombay Curry Recipe, you need the following ingredients. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:
- Butter - The fat you need to stew the meat, giving your curry a creamy taste. If you have, use Ghee. Ghee butter without solid milk particles and water. This prevents the butter from burning. But you can also use butter.
- Onions, garlic, ginger, and red pepper - Fresh, finely chopped. Seasonings are usually used in Indian cooking. The red pepper provides the spice in the curry. Are small children eating dinner? Then remove the seeds. Do you like it spicy? Then add extra pepper.
- Spices - This recipe includes several spices commonly used in Indian cooking to flavor the sauce. The sauce contains cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and salt. All spices are widely available at the (Asian) supermarket (one of the best things about this Curry Bombay is the ingredients are very readily available).
- Chuck roast - Chuck roast is used in this recipe. But you can also use a round roast (top or bottom) or tri-tip roast for this Latin beef stew. Or go for chicken or lamb, which also tastes great with the Bombay sauce.
- Diced tomatoes - For the buttery tomato sauce. Use canned diced tomatoes because they have the optimal taste. You could use strained tomatoes (or passata), but you don't have to because you're making the Bombay Curry in the slow cooker.
- Coconut Milk - Extracted from the juice of grated coconut flesh. It has a slightly sweet, rich, and full flavor.
