Recipe
cut the beef into big bite-sized pieces and mix in a bowl with the curry paste and 1 tbsp of the oil.
fry the cardamom pods, star anise and cinnamon sticks gently in a deep saucepan with the rest for the oil for 3 minutes.
turn up the heat on the pan and add the curried beef and onions to fry and gain a golden colour in places.
pour in the tin of coconut milk then half fill the empty tin with water and add that too, along with the fish sauce.
bring to the boil, then stick on a lid and reduce the heat to a very gentle simmer for 90 minutes.
stir in the potatoes before simmering for another 30 minutes until the potatoes are soft and cooked through.
finish by stirring through the peanuts, sugar, tamarind and Thai basil, then serve with plenty of steamed Jasmine rice to soak up the amazing juices.
