Ingredients:

For the Curry Paste:

1-inch piece of ginger, grated

2 red chilies, seeded and chopped

1 tablespoon ground coriander

1 tablespoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 teaspoon ground fennel

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 tablespoons tomato paste

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

For the Curry:

1 lb chicken breast, thinly sliced

1 lb beef sirloin, thinly sliced

1 can (400ml) coconut milk

1 cup beef or chicken broth

2 tablespoons soy sauce

2 tablespoons lime juice

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Salt, to taste

For Serving:

Cooked rice or noodles

Sliced avocado

Sliced bell peppers

Chopped cilantro

Lime wedges

Instructions:

In a blender or food processor, combine all the ingredients for the curry paste and blend until smooth.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the curry paste and cook, stirring frequently, for about 5 minutes until fragrant.

Add the sliced chicken and beef to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Pour in the coconut milk and broth. Stir in the soy sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar. Season with salt to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Divide cooked rice or noodles among serving bowls. Ladle the curry mixture over the rice or noodles. (optional adding cilantro at this step)

Top each bowl with sliced avocado, sliced bell peppers, chopped cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice. Serve hot.

Tips and Serving Suggestions:

Adjust the spice level: If you prefer a milder curry, reduce the amount of red chilies in the curry paste. For an extra kick of heat, leave the seeds in the chilies or add a dash of hot sauce.

Customize toppings: Get creative with your toppings! Consider adding sliced jalapeños, shredded cheese, or a dollop of sour cream for added flavor and texture.

Make it vegetarian: For a meat-free version, swap the chicken and beef for tofu or your favorite vegetables. Eggplant, cauliflower, and potatoes work well in this curry.

Meal prep tip: This curry reheats beautifully, making it perfect for meal prep. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or freeze for longer storage.
