When the prep and planning is done, you can whip up a homemade curry in no time after work. I love to defrost a portion of the beef stew and turn it into this deliciously warming beef curry with my favourite curry paste. Serve it with cauliflower rice and fresh coriander, and people will think you have slaved away for hours. I like Patak’s Madras curry base but do look for flavours you like; read the ingredients and add according to the ratios they suggest. Sometimes you need only a few tablespoons and others you need to use half a jar of paste to get the flavour correct. To make the curry go further, bulking it out with non-starchy vegetables such as broccoli or cauliflower florets or add a tin of lentils or butter beans. Use up the leftover coconut milk in coffee or freeze it.
