Veal Curry(Yields 6 Servings)
A flavorful veal curry with rich spices, tender meat, and aromatic herbs, perfect for comforting family dinners or when craving bold, savory flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cut veal into bite-sized pieces and brown slowly in fat.
- When almost brown, add sliced onion and continue browning.
- Sprinkle curry powder over the meat, then add hot water and lemon juice; cover and simmer slowly for 45 to 90 minutes or until meat is tender.
- Combine cornstarch and cold water to form a smooth paste, then stir slowly into the mixture.
- Continue cooking for five minutes, stirring constantly. If too thick, add water to reach the desired consistency.
- Serve the veal curry with cooked rice mixed with minced parsley, if desired.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider browning the veal in ghee instead of unsalted fat. If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the curry powder or substitute it with garam masala. You can also add vegetables like bell peppers or peas during the simmering phase for added nutrition and color. If you're short on time, using pre-cooked chicken can be a great shortcut.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the veal curry over a bed of fluffy cooked rice, optionally mixing in minced parsley for a fresh touch. This dish pairs beautifully with naan or roti for a complete meal. Consider serving a side of Gooseberry Chutney to add a tangy contrast to the richness of the curry.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently warm the veal curry on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of water if needed to keep it from drying out. Alternatively, you can microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between to ensure even heating.
