Cooking Steps
• Finely chop garlic.
• In a medium saucepan, heat the butter with a dash of olive oil over
medium-high heat. Cook half the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the
water and a pinch of salt and bring to the boil.
• Add jasmine rice, stir, cover with a lid and reduce heat to low. Cook for
12 minutes, then remove from heat and keep covered until rice is tender
and water is absorbed, 10-15 minutes.
TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!
• Meanwhile, thinly slice cucumber(see ingredients) into half-moons.
• Grate carrot (see ingredients).
• Finely chop coriander (reserve some for garnish).
• In a medium bowl, combine cucumber, carrot and coriander. Add a drizzle
of white wine vinegar and olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Stir to combine.
• In a second medium bowl, combine beef strips, mild North Indian spice
blend, a drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. When oil is
hot, cook beef strips, tossing, until browned and cooked through,
1-2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Return the frying pan to medium heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook
Mumbai spice blend and remaining garlic until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add coconut milk and a splash of water, then bring to the boil. Reduce heat
to medium-low and simmer until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes.
• Return beef (and any resting juices) and stir to combine. Season to taste.
• Divide garlic rice between bowls.
• Top with saucy coconut beef and carrot-cucumber salsa.
• Garnish with reserved coriander to serve. Enjoy!
