Beef Curry

• 1 kg lean beef, cut into cubes
• 4 tablespoons sunflower oil or olive oil
• 1 large onion, finely chopped
• 2-3 cups water
• 3 large apples, diced
• 3 large carrots, diced
• 3 large potatoes, diced
• 1/2 bag frozen peas
• 1 can chopped tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• salt
• black pepper
• ginger powder
• ½ teaspoon sugar
• 1 stock cube

For the thickening

• 1-2 cups water
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 6 tablespoons hot Madras curry powder
• 2-3 bananas, diced

1. Heat the sunflower oil in a pot. Once hot, sauté the meat and onion. Add the 2-3 cups of water. Let it cook until the meat is tender.
2. Add the apples, carrots, potatoes, peas, chopped tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, pepper, ginger, sugar, and stock cube.
3. Continue cooking for 30 minutes. Dissolve the flour and curry powder in 1-2 cups of water.
4. Add this mixture to the food and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. Stir and add the bananas.
5. Keep the heat low and stir constantly until the sauce thickens. There's a risk of the food sticking to the bottom of the pot. Serve with rice.
