Review of the Beef Dopiaza Recipe
Hi, Ray here again.
It’s the weekend again so it’s time to cook another delicious curry from the Curry Focus website. The Beef Dopiaza recipe looks pretty easy so that’s the choice for this weekend.
All I needed to buy was the beef and fresh chillies.
I saw that it takes 60 minutes to cook the beef and so I began to prepare the ingredients 90 minutes before dinner was scheduled to be ready.
I chopped the beef up into small cubes and then peeled and sliced up 2 medium onions.
I preheated the oven whilst the onions were cooking and also prepared the spice paste and the chopped garlic.
I put the onions onto a plate when they were done and did a quick stir-fry of the garlic and then the spice paste.
I put the beef and water into my casserole and added the stir-fry mix. I mixed it all up and put the casserole into the oven.
Then I peeled the last medium onion and finely chopped it. After that, I chopped the two chillies.
I then added the chopped chillies and onion to the casserole.
This recipe is so easy to follow.
I chopped up the fresh cilantro and went and relaxed whilst the casserole was cooking.
When it was time, I added the cilantro and garam masala and put the casserole back into the oven.
We were having rice with the dopiaza so I washed some basmati and put it, along with the correct amount of water, into a bowl ready for the microwave.
I added the cooked onion to the casserole and cooked the casserole for another 10 minutes with the casserole cover on.
Finally I removed the casserole lid, turned the oven off and started to microwave the rice.
The meal was soon ready and the beef dopiaza was served on a bed of rice with a glass of good wine.
The diners gave the dopiaza a rating of 7 out of 10, which is pretty good.
There is a lot of onion in this dish. If you don’t like a lot of onion then an alternative would be to only cook one, instead of two, onions at the beginning of the recipe. I can’t imagine that this would detract from the dish.
I really liked the subtle flavors and will be cooking beef dopiaza again sometime in the near future.
