Spice Girl.
by girlinafoodfrenzy
There are those days when you crave food, which you prepare ahead and rest until the time you want a bowl of something warm and comforting (hearty meals!) For me, this is my Ultimate Spicy Curry. Somewhere between a madras or a massaman, it’s simply a great combination of spices, chillies, fragrant aromats and a teeny bit of punch! You can mix things up a bit, ie feel free to tone down the heat, or even amp it up (if you dare…)
Are you intrigued yet? It’s the kind of meal that’s great with a bowl of saffron-tinged rice, or coconut rice to tone down the heat or even just crusty bread (or fluffy breads!) Either way, I hope you can find some comfort in the heat of this Ultimate Spicy Beef Curry.

Thanks Uru! I bet you’ve enjoyed some delicious curries in your household too! I couldn’t resist the title and the little prop there is from my little sister’s trip to India when her bestie got married there
Oh, I do love curries. I wish I could get good Indian spices here, they usually are old and not so fragrant by the time you purchase them. Beautiful pictures Alice.
Lol, I wish I knew what wonderful things you can get in Barcelona though? As for the spices, I seem to be building a lovely collection of edible decorations, aka spices & such. I’m thrilled you enjoyed these pictures, the Taj Mahal came from the actual Taj Mahal when my sister visited last year!
Arrrrg….seriously jealous in a very good way. My destination of a lifetime is India. You are such an amazing photographer…..:) Love all your posts Alice. They are what I look forward to reading to in the morning when I wake up!
Thanks so much Carla, you’ve made my morning now! I’ve no doubt you’ll get to India one day and it might even be connected to your beautiful food too. I’m pleased to hear you’re enjoying the blog, the food and photography are a definite new found passion of mine!
That looks absolutely delish! That’s it! Curry tonight! Thank you for the inspiration.
So welcome, is it too corny to add I like to spice it up in the kitchen?
As for ideas, I find it hard to believe you’d ever be stuck for thoughts on dinner, your food is so lovely.
Mmm deliciously warming. I like spicy:)
Great! Strawberries, Pimm’s, pretzels and curries! I’ll add it to the NY list, lol
haha I bet your NY list will be very, very long by the time you are done making it (usually happens to me!)
Your curry must have been delicious.
It was definitely tasty, nourishing & comforting! I haven’t forgotten about the Fregola either, still looking forward to seeing your first tomatoes of the season and what you do with them too!
I love the little Taj Mahal, and who can resist a curry? You’ve made me hungry!
The really great thing about curries is they work so well for so many palates. I can love a good dhal as much as a beefy one and then go the flip side and do a tofu/vege Laksa curry paste. What can I say besides spices are definitely a way of life for me!
I’m so glad to have found a use for the little Taj Mahal too. Usually lives on the bookshelf besides a Frida Kahlo postcard!
Wow Alice! You seem like you have a crazy spice tolerance! That’s awesome!! mmm!! I love spicy stuff too! And curry is definitely on that list of loves!
Hey Sammi, thanks! I like to kick my metabolism into overdrive every now and then (joke!) But I do figure if I do want the spicy stuff I should go all out
You can wake me up for Asian food any time! Will definitely try this curry recipe
Fantastic! Love another curry convert, happy cooking!
Ooooohhh…this looks very tasty and spicy. I can imagine the aroma wafting the kitchen while this is being made.
You must be a mind reader. My guy and I were only remembering how good it tasted and smelled, yesterday.
Looks yum, perfect for the winter here.
That’s precisely why I made it! Sydney really is cold right now. Nothing like a bit of chilli to get you sweating
cool – about 14 degrees. Clear blue skies, so not too bad.
Likewise, Sydney gal here! Just pleased it’s stopped bucketing down by now
ah, no wonder. Sorry didn’t click! Doh
Lol, not to worry! Today was a lovely day though and it was a gorgeous afternoon. Have a great weekend.
YOU KNOW I LOVE CURRY! This looks awesome! I will definitely try.
I don’t often make curries at home, but after this one I know I’ll be making more in the future! I just love heat, give me anything with chillies & coriander and I’m a happy girl.
We are kindred spirits, for sure! Chilies, cumin, coriander….yes….!
And I have to make curries at home! Hard to find good Indian curries here. Just another excuse for me to get in the kitchen!
I wondered how the newly renovated kitchen is going too, does it feel like home yet!
As it’s winter here I’m getting stuck into the comfort food, there’s a lot of spice loving right now…
There’s still a few bits to finish off–our handyman effed off to Hawaii for a month, so we’re waiting for him to get over here. Then I’ll finally post the finished product! But yes, it’s feeling more like home, just still getting used to the sink–it’s right against the wall so you have to pull dishes and drain from the right-hand side. Thanks for asking!
And love up some of those braised, spicy dishes for me while it’s summer here!
Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog for a little while today. I had a great time and tried to leave my campsite as good as when I arrived. I’ll be back, especially since you left that chocolate for me; it was yummy!
So welcome Russel. I’m thrilled you enjoyed the recipes and took time to really check out my blog. Glad to hear you’ve got a sweet tooth, I’m cooking up more treats as I write. Happy Cooking
