This is easy to follow recipe & because the beef is cooked slowly, when it's ready to eat, the beef will be lovely & tender. This recipe is cooked on the stove top & then the oven.

Boil briskly for 10 minutes or until grains are soft. Strain, then turn them into a hot dish & allow to steam dry in a warm oven for 5 minutes. Serve & enjoy.

    Tip: This recipe can be used with cooked meat. Follow the recipe above, but after preparing the curry sauce, (step 2), cover & allow to cook gently for 30 minutes. Then add the cooked meat of your choice & cook until the meat has warmed through - 10-20 minutes depending on size, before serving. Eggs or prawns will usually take about 5 minutes to warm through.
