Directions
-
Combine curry powder, allspice and Habanero Chile Powder in small bowl. Stir to thoroughly combine. Set aside.
-
Season beef chunks with 1-1/2 teaspoons salt. Heat oil in large pot over medium-high heat, add 3 tablespoons curry powder mixture, and heat until fragrant.
-
Add beef to pot in batches, turning until well-browned on all sides. Transfer beef to plate and set aside.
-
Add onions to pot, along with remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add ginger and garlic, and cook, stirring often, for 1 minute.
-
Return beef to pot, along with water, coconut milk, tomatoes, thyme and remaining curry powder mixture. Stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until meat is tender, about 1-1/2 hours. Add potatoes and carrots, and continue simmering until vegetables are tender and beef is fork-tender.
-
Taste, and adjust seasoning with salt, if necessary. Skim fat from curry before serving. Serve over rice, topped with chopped fresh chives.
