Generic Beef Curry (By G)

I've titled this 'Generic Beef Curry' so that I have scope to do other beef curries in the future - and it is pretty generic.

This was made by browning off the beef and sweating off some onions. To that I added a large teaspoon of my do-not-touch-fuck-off-hot-homemade-chili-paste, fried it off then popped in some chunks of potato and carrot and covered with chicken stock (our beef stock is frozen into a solid block and unusable without a bit of forethought).  The curry was simmered for an hour and a half with coriander stirred through at the end then served with boiled rice dusted with paprika.

The do-not-touch-fuck-off-hot-homemade-chili-paste is called that for a reason - it is not to used under any circumstances.  It was made from a combination of fried chili, garlic and onions mixed with tamarind paste and chili powder.  As a consequence, tonight's dinner - while quite tasty - was unconscionably hot. From experience I know that what is pleasant and scorching on the way in is going to be unpleasant and scorching on the way out.
