luckyjim,

i've never used beef in a curry so no expert.

i have used the ashoka recipes though and feel beef would work fine. it would have to be pre cooked for me to work. there is another post ongoing on how to cook meat (https://curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=4008.0)

I've cooked some pretty good dishes with beef  ::)
This is it always tastes like beef and obviously breaks down like beef. I'd lash it with garlic, lots of spice mix and yogurt and cook the same way you cook lamb only longer. Chunks must be larger to allow for shrinkage, as with Lamb.

DD,

many thanks for that prompt - i'd missed the post. i think i'll give lamb a go (for the 1st time) over the  hols and will use the ashoka method.
