Beef Madras Masala. Serves 5 - Perfect for the Pressure & SLOW COOKER - Al's Kitchen

[@DannyBoomhead]

Nice recipe Al... but a little observation, a butcher once told me that you should never buy meat pre-diced because it contains an assortment of different off cuts of meat, so some will be tougher than others, some may even toughen and dry out after long slow cooking. He said always buy a lump of chuck, shirt, braising steak or whatever it is you fancy using. It always seems to have worked for me

[@geraldhargreaves8405]

Thanks Al. I’ve been making curries for 30 years after getting Pat Chapman’s “Curry Magic “ but lost interest in the BIL after a couple of years early on due to family/work/life commitments and resorted to either bad take out or quick and easy pre- made pastes and sauces. Came across your channel last Friday, made a 4 Litre batch of #1 curry base Saturday afternoon, your butter chicken Saturday night, your Bombay potatoes Sunday as well as your Beef Madras Masala in the electric pressure cooker ( Russell Hobbs in NZ or instant pot elsewhere). UNBELIEVABLE!!!!! Best Indian curries of my life!! Have got 8 portions of the base in the freezer and can’t wait to try your other recipes. Chicken Jalfrezi next on list. Thanks heaps from Auckland, New Zealand and love your channel. By the way, the local craft beer market went into overdrive 6years ago here and are producing fantastic brews! Down side is that imported beers like Boddingtons and Tetleys are no longer available. Cheers Gerry

[@richardbailey1993]

Listen man! I have never cooked in my life. Once I followed exactly what the 'Main Man' had said, I was knocking out amazing curries in just a few months! The secret is: do everything to the extreme exact as he does (measures also). Wow, it tastes so good....😋

[@rosemaryrawson3421]

Oh my days..! I think I’ve made all your curries now Al, this is my most favourite.! Even though I love them all, this one for me is heaven xx

[@archyboy4032]

I have been looking for a good beef curry recipe using my slow cooker. This one looks great and I am going to try it this week. Very good video and well explained how to make it. Good job.

[@rickkyspannish530]

just came back to france after 10 days eating awesome indian meals in uk, and now i will try all your recipe !!! thx a lot m8

[@MrFoolzgold]

Made this in the slow cooker yesterday amazing, keep up the great work fellah!, (my only tweak was to add a couple of tablespoons of mango chutney instead of sugar in the final stages just becase the wife is obsessed with MC :) ) cant wait for the left overs tomorrow..nom nom 10/10

[@snoopy8838]

Hi Al cooked the beef Madras last night a lot of time involved but well worth it its now going to sit in fridge for another day to infuse those flavours more another great recipe keep them coming thanks again Gary

[@alexnisbet6233]

I made this today in advance for New Years Eve along with a few other curries. The simplicity of this dish was remarkable. The final taste test was an absolute delight with tender rich beef and a hearty spicy beef sauce. Not over creamy and tasted quite complex too. I think this will go down a treat.

[@AlsKitchen]

Alex Nisbet That's great. One of my faves. I think I under salted though so I add a little more

[@BrumCraft]

Cooked this tonight for the family and it went down a treat. Added some asafietida and bay leaves

[@ptwotwo2055]

made this for the family over Xmas they all loved it Al thank you so much, I had some habanero chilis that i dehydrated and turned into powder to replace the chilli powder, what a result defo worth a try, all the best to you and your family for the new year with plenty more beers and bowls of curry. Cheers.

[@bozlap]

Thank you very much Al. I love your channel. You relaxed and clear presentation style are so easy to watch. Used your recipes for a curry evening with friends last night and they loved it. Keep on goi g you’re my favourite curry maker.

[@jillianbartlett5153]

Oh my days......... this is my first attempt & it is AMAZING!!!

[@wilfamos7314]

That looks blinkin tasty. Coconut milk is a new angle. 😊

[@dazzaspencer1113]

Tried this and was excellent and even the wife like it as went back to get some the next day and it was nearly all gone! Cheers Al.

[@tinadutton3788]

looks lovely Al ..ive bought my self a multi cooker from wilco ..£25 quid and its ace ..so you press the fry button and do your onion and spices ..add the meat and every thing else ..press the stew button ..comes on for 45 mins then goes to keep warm ..or you can add extra time at the beginning ..that's how I will be doing this yummy looking curry ..glad you had a great holiday xx

[@mattwharton5939]

Beautiful!! I have my own tried and tested madras recipe but yours looks incredible I’ll be trying it this week. I’ve never added coconut milk before in case it turns my madras into a korma. I’m going to trust you in this ! 🙂

[@davexjs5889]

AL going to try this in a slow cooker nothing better than getting home , opening the door and wam the smell of a good curry

[@scotts1989]

Made this before with a few less ingredients and a few of my own ideas to compensate. It was lovely. Making it again now this time I took the extra time to get all the ingredients. Smells absolutely brilliant can't wait for it to be ready. Thanks for the video Al.

[@ricoliparoti7786]

Fantastic recipe, I've made it a few times and have it nailed on. The only recommendation I'd make it to use 1.5x the amount of spices than given here and its perfect.

[@Mani26031981]

Looks wonderful mate...I've cooked this dish on a few occasions but I've left out the coconut milk and the other dairy items. I normally like my Madras with a really spicy kick, and as you've said it tastes better when eaten the next day! :) I do like to use Guinness as a deglazing agent for the pan in case the curry sticks! ;)

[@Coolek]

I think searing the beef before adding it to the curry would result in even better flavor.

[@robertbennett2642]

Hi Al, I re ran the video and saw the green chillies being added cheers

[@davidroberts8671]

You are a legend!!! I've cooked a few of your dishes and I'm well impressed! And so are the people who ate it! Lol

[@98Celebrate]

Al, cooked this tonight it was very tasty, great recipe, thank you!

[@robertclare77]

Wonderful, doing this Saturday but with chicken as the beef is awful here. Salivating already!

[@mattydutts]

Love this recipe, has anyone tried doing it in a pressure cooker?

[@daze1945]

OK Al I have made this 3 times now which equates to 6 lots of meals for 2. I have had no end of people calling and asking what is that amazing smell? Followed by a quick taste test. Everyone one loves it! I tend to use leftover brisket from Sunday lunch which saves on the cooking time. It is hard not to eat this too much given the amount of fat in it but damn this is one awesome dish. Thanks AL :D

[@AlsKitchen]

David Williams Hi David. I have this around once a week but no less than once a fortnight. It is amazing I agree. The recipe is for four so you must be eating huge portions. Glad you love the recipe.

[@daze1945]

LOL it gets eaten in 3 sittings. We have quite small appetites and this is quite filling but admittedly it is hard to stop eating this once you start. :)

[@tommyplunkett3643]

Al great recipe, but I was looking for a pressure cooker hot Curry can you help for time guide lines. Thanks Tommy

[@dajay2k]

Do you find too watery in pressure cooker?

[@BlueZirnitra]

Lovely job. I'd do it slightly different but I definitely got some tips from this. I'd love a nice big Karai like that.

[@cheddarUSA1]

Just found your channel, and i'm stupidly pumped to try this recipe on the weekend :)

[@gerrybbadd]

Al, this one looks amazing, I'll definitely be trying it out

[@djmrhill]

It would have been nice to see you do this with a slow cooker after frying the bits at first. I really hope you show a future recipe using a slow cooker.

[@MrVallisayeed]

Trying this recipe now, looks great and tastes good no doubt.

[@AlsKitchen]

It does and goes up a notch the next day too.

[@daze1945]

BIR or not BIR,Authentic or not authentic. I don't give a rats ass. This is one awesome curry that everyone should try. Eating it right now and some left for tomorrow. Fantastic Al. Definitely a staple from now on. :)

[@stevenmathison1651]

Al.. that's a brilliant video 👍🏻 never thought of cooking the beef that way in the sauce 😋.. thank you .. keep the videos coming my friend

[@christinaforde5793]

Just made this it’s fantastic x

[@WhiteFalconus]

Looks tasty! Al, could you please make a video on making takeaway-style breads like laccha paratha or just naan? That would go great with all the curries.

[@TheBaileyBobs]

Will be making this very soon, it looks delicious!!

[@grahamhoff3867]

Must try this one Al this look Great thxs

[@elmatteo17]

Came out great with Chicken. Would love a few more of these slow cooker curries. Great stuff!!

[@spatewater]

Like the look this one Al ! as you dont use- need , the Base gravey.

[@AlsKitchen]

Yeah, a nice rest from the good ole base gravy lol

[@slicker55]

Thanks Al - made a big pot of this tonight which will be heading for the freezer - well, that's the plan but you know what happens to even the best laid plans...

[@TheBaileyBobs]

Looks like another yummy curry, will be making this tomorrow!!

[@TheBaileyBobs]

Al I made this yesterday and it gets the thumbs up again from me. Thank you!!

[@furbs9999]

Right up my street! will be adding some extra heat to mine!

[@bsacadetmajor]

Nice one AL I will give this one ago, keep the video's coming.

[@tanksontour]

Just cooked this today, absolutely lovely - one for the list of favourites. Thanks.

[@SennaMadeF1]

Looks nice Al! Must have cooked 8 of your curries now, just had your vindaloo tonight which was top draw! Got my pals into making them too. We love our curries up in York!

[@AlsKitchen]

Great. Thanks for watching the video and so glad you liked it

[@joncollins7730]

You granted my wish lol. Thanks. Will probably cut down on the chilli tho. One more thing, since I'll be doing this in the slow cooker should I do anything different or can I just chuck it all in from the start? Thanks again. Can't wait to try this : )

[@colincameron4217]

Al. Love the content. Keep up the good work. Thanks

[@tracywarley9181]

Look lovely al. Thank you

[@anthonyparrott4826]

Al can you please do a update on your beef curry thanks Anthony look forward to it if you can thanks again

[@emmabound942]

Hi Al, where did you bye the pan you made the beef madras masala in?

[@nathanmitchell408]

Good to see you back hope you had a good holiday

[@AlsKitchen]

Had a good trip. Nice to be back though too

[@darkmagician9029]

Hi Al cooked this for two friends and to quote billy "that was F IN Beautiful best fish you've ever done " Plus beware of the owner of the Sultan he's wondering where I've been lately Keep it up

[@AlsKitchen]

Dark Magician lol. This is what I think when I eat it . I never tire of this dish. Thanks I am sure you will be eating this again.

[@pennyantolini6130]

My husband is an Italian chef and he lived it.. bring on the spice

[@AllotmentBen]

You've got a great channel Al I'm learning alot thank you 🌶🌶

[@LR-gb7cy]

Great recipe!!

[@andypandy6830]

Hello Al, thanks for another fantastical video and recipe, may i ask where you bought that amazing cast iron karahi please?

[@segasaturnz4273]

That looks amazing.

[@TheSideboom]

Phew Al, Looking forward to cooking this bad boy curry, but i think i am going to drop the extra hot chilli powder and use a milder one it looks really moorish and one for me to try out on my mates down my local pub , good luck to you as always cheers Jim.

[@AlsKitchen]

Hi Jim. Yeah Milder chiili powder is just fine. Please let me know what you think when you do it. Al

[@TheSideboom]

Yes Al I'll be out shopping in my local asian supermarket tomorrow first thing for some ingredients, may i ask were did you buy your cast iron wok ? and are they good to use, Cheers Al Jim.

[@AlsKitchen]

Its great to use. I got it from my sister and im not sure where she got it. Its coated too so no need to season it. I cook loads of things in it. Bolognese, chillies, stews etc

[@TheSideboom]

Cheers Al it is on my shopping list Amazon is my first stop for this.

[@troygibson9011]

Thanks Al, great recipe, this is now a “go-too” curry for guests....heat in the curry will be according to how welcome the guests are 😜

[@tigu2012]

Will need to give that recipe a go never tried it with those ingredients

[@AlsKitchen]

Please give me feed back when you do it. cheers

[@martinhenley715]

Hi Al, can't wait to do this at the wkd, been meaning to do it for a while! Just a quickie, is this suitable for freezing and reheating due to having cream and yogurt in etc? Sorry if I may have repeated someone else's question in the past. Cheers. 👍

[@pcrazywayne]

Only just found you Al looking forward to cooking your curries

[@BeerBellyBert]

Recipe looks great Al going to try it this weekend. Do you use heaped or level spoons for measuring spices?

[@stevetaylor9839]

Mate this is awesome

[@gwensmith7646]

Yum yum, you've done it again.

[@davidhoban3281]

Thanks Al. This looks superb. Just one question...at the start of the video you say natural Greek yogurt but the written description says plain Yogurt. Just wondering which one I need.... Cheers Al

[@katherineball5932]

It looks delicious! Thank you for sharing :) Is there a reason for not browning the beef first? TIA

[@BruceGeorgePeterLee13]

thank you!

[@vibuthankabali]

That's nicely done.

[@robertmccracken3955]

Looks great Al

[@AlsKitchen]

Thanks 👍

[@garymoore5600]

Might try this but with a couple of lamb shanks in the slow cooker.. I've been cooking using base sauce for sometime now and the curries are fantastic, the caramelisation of the onion in the base sauce is the key.. I e always wondered how you'd go about this in a slow cooker.... 🤔

[@rwojcik47]

Can't wait to try it! All your recipes so far are WINNERS!!! Thanks for giving us BIR curries in the USA!! ;-)

[@jamesedwardknight]

How long would you recommend in slow cooker. Also to reduce do I need to transfer it to a normal pan on the hob then add the cream and yoghurt before serving.

[@garymoore5600]

JHGIFD56487JLGF ?

[@AlsKitchen]

No one said this curry is BiR.

[@RumTruffler]

That sounds good, I love a lamb Shank. Had one in an indian restaurant a few months back and it was amazing!

[@geaneckton8327]

Looks good I’m giving this a go 👍🏻

[@AlsKitchen]

Have fun!

[@steveattwood8629]

Al great recipe, for a slow cooker, do you go through all the steps and once you have added the beef do you put it in the slow cooker at that point for 6 hours, then try to thicken it?

[@AlsKitchen]

Yes I do!

[@sgc9755]

Trying this tonight but unfortunately everywhere had run out of mustard seeds, so avoided substituting and just hope it still comes out splendidly. Will let you know how I get on!

[@AlsKitchen]

Please do Sam I look forward to it. The mustard seed omission shouldn’t be a problem.

[@sgc9755]

Even without the mustard seeds, that was the best curry I've made. Creamy and thick and oh so flavoursome. Everyone loved it. Cheers again and will now be ploughing through your videos. Good job

[@Usernameisvalid8968]

Al's not f***in around level in this curry pushing a good 8/10. Cheers dude.

[@pooroldfred]

Hey Al ...I was just wondering....most recipes say to sear the meat first....if its ok to not like on this recipe this it makes it much easier when making say 10 portions to freeze.......does yhe meat not dry out?

[@thomasnimmoco9359]

Fantastic recipe! Is there anywhere I can print if off instead of following the video?

[@ajharl562]

Olive Oil or Oil of your choice 1Kg Diced Beef 2 med Onions finely chopped 2 Tbsp Garlic/Ginger Paste 6 Small Green Chillies finely Chopped 1 Tbsp Garam Masala 1 Tsp Turmeric 1 Tbsp Hot or Extra Hot Chilli Powder 1 Tsp Yellow Mustard seeds 1 Tbsp Madras Curry powder 400g Tin Tomatoes Blended 2 Tsp Tomato Puree 400ml Coconut Milk Handful Chopped Coriander 2 Tbsp Single Cream 2 Tbsp Plain Yogurt 1 Tsp Sugar 1 Tsp Salt

[@gordon6029]

Thanks Al

[@waynegriffiths9122]

Would it be wrong to throw in some chopped potatoes if I only had half of the said beef?

[@eddiemoore7463]

Top work Al, keep it up mate 👍

[@robertbennett2642]

Hi Al at what point do you add the 6 green chillies that you blended at the start of the video?

[@SlowCookerIdeas]

great recipe, shame you didn't use the slow cooker, but the idea was there :)

[@bertifrasilmeye995]

Hi Al, enjoy your vids but if my memory serves me well, you never use Indian cinamon leaves ( tæj pata) any specific reason why?

[@richiestrich8079]

Al, if I use my slow cooker do I just throw everything in from the start, stir it and leave it for 6 hours?

[@gregoshaughnessy3674]

Restaurants cook the meqt in advance. They don't use the masala to do that job. This might help people who are a bit unsure about preparing the dish. Just simmer the beef for a couple of hours with a bit of curry powder or other spices before adding it to the mix or else put it in a slow cooker for as long as you like, which is the ideal way to produce tender tasty meat.

[@AlsKitchen]

I know. This was a one pot stop to make a great curry quickly. Check out my pre cooked lamb video

[@coolerkin]

Another great recipe Al... Although do I need to brown the Beef off if I was too cook this in a Slow Cooker??

[@AlsKitchen]

coolerkin No need. Its a myth that you can seal the meat. Browning only caramelises the outside of the meat. Just throw it in.

[@chrisknight2550]

Yes this looks niiiiiiice

[@AlsKitchen]

Thanks Chris

[@gbbushcraft2311]

Bloody fantastic

[@stephanie67ish]

Hi al, love your curries, they are the best. To make this curry for 8 people do you just double everything up ?

[@AlsKitchen]

Yes. For this one, double everything. Thanks

[@stephanie67ish]

Can you do a pink pakora sauce please ?. Your pakora is better than any take away I’ve ever had al

[@terryhill6895]

Can you pre cook the beef as like the pre-cook lamb for curries?

[@AlsKitchen]

Yes

[@daze1945]

Al just to clarify, when using the pressure cooker, cook the sauce in the pan first and then put it in the pressure cooker along with the meat? Add cream and yoghurt at the end?

[@AlsKitchen]

David Williams that’s right. I have updated the descriptions of pressure cooker etc in the box below the video

[@owonpattaya81]

Hi al is that a carbon steel wok with a lid ? if so were did you get it from I cant find any that come with a lid

[@benwatson3996]

Say I do this in a slow cooker, do I just throw it all in? or do it in a pot like you did then throw it all in before the cream etc??

[@jamesw7624]

Do I follow this step by step for the slow cooker as well or is it slightly different. Looks great by the way Al.

[@AlsKitchen]

James Watson Follow the pressure cooker method explained below. Then place in slow cooker. At the end add the cream,yogurt, sugar and salt. Simmer down on the stove a little.

[@jamesw7624]

Al's Kitchen. Thanks Al

[@chatchatty2155]

dose this taste diffrent if i use presure cooker or will it taste the same

[@jonathang.5092]

Hi Al, I'll echo all the other comments. Do a slow cooker video!! I find things always come out to watery in the slow cooker. Not enough liquid evaporates off so you end up transferring to another pot to boil the arse off it!!

[@tracyswift2758]

My electric pressure cooker stops hissing once it reached pressure and seals so I’m guessing my curry would be very watery? Do you seal your pressure cooker?
