Method:

1. Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a casserole pot over high heat. Season the beef and fry in the pot for 4-8 mins, turning half way until evenly browned. Set aside on a plate. Add a little water to the pot to deglaze if needed. 

2. Heat the remaining oil and butter in the pan and add the onions. Cook gently for 15 mins or until golden brown and caramelised. Add the garlic, ginger, Simply Wholesome Pantry Butter Chicken Recipe Base and fry for 3 minutes.  Add the tomatoes, stock and sugar and bring to the simmer.

3. Add the beef, put a lid on top of the curry and allow to cook on a very gentle simmer. After 1.5 hours, remove the lid and add the zucchini and green beans. Stir them through, leave the lid off and continue cooking for another 15 minutes or until the meat is tender and falling apart. 

4. Stir through the garam masala and Greek yoghurt OR cream and season to taste. Scatter over the coriander and serve with naan breads and/or rice.
