I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
1. Peel your garlic 4 seconds/Speed 4 ½ /Reverse Blade Function. Remove skins but leave cloves in the bowl. Turn off Reverse Blade Function
" />2. Drop ginger “coins” and onion onto the running blades at Speed 6, then turn off. Scrape sides of TM bowl. Add tamarind paste, tomatoes, coconut milk and spices; blend 1 minute/Speed 7.
3. Add cubed beef and curry leaves. Cook 100° C/60 minutes/Speed Spoon/Reverse Blade Function. Pop the internal steamer basket on top of the lid (instead of the MC) to allow steam to escape without spatters to thicken and reduce the sauce quicker. Go do something else and come back when your TM sings to you. Check if the meat is tender and if required, cook another 20 to 30 minutes to tenderise the meat. If your sauce is lovely and thick but your meat is not tender enough, add some stock or water and cook as before. Transfer to a ThermoServer and steam some rice or set aside, covered, and use your second TM bowl to steam some rice. Serve up and enjoy!
Method
Tip
1. The smaller the pieces of beef, the faster they cook and tenderise. My experience is that the big chunks you get at the supermarket or the butcher’s take much longer to cook. Smaller is better!
2. If required, start by grinding your whole spices, individually. Here’s a tip for you: using an empty jar from store-bought ground spice as your guide, weigh the same weight of whole spices into your TM bowl and grind on Speed 9 or 10 until fine. For instance, my jar contained 38 g of ground cumin so I weighed in 40 g of whole cumin, ground for a minute or so, and transferred into my jar with the help of a funnel. Brilliant, if I must say so myself 
"> Then use a pastry brush to brush out all the gorgeous, freshly-ground spices.
3. This recipe makes a relatively mild Madras curry. Spice levels are quite a personal thing so feel free to increase the amount of spices you use and jazz up the taste of this easy low-fat curry!

So glad you liked this recipe, Shirley1 ! I'm in the mood for fat free curry myself so I think I'll make a batch. What's for dinner in your house tonight?

Hi ThermoJax , have you made this recipe again? Try it with the curry leaves and some extra spices such as what you would use in any other curry recipe you like, and see if you can get the flavour you're looking for. It's so fast and easy to make curry in Thermomix, we can make it often and vary the flavours.
Happy Thermomix cooking!

Delicious recipe, thank you.
Made this last night and we all liked it. I was surprised there was no dry frying of the spices to activate them but the meal was eaten by everyone, even miss 'I don't like spice' 9 said it was okay... as long as she had a constant supply of papadams!

Yum! Easy & tasty dish!
we didn't have any curry leaves and wonder if it would've added the flavor we were looking for, but it was still nice. My toddler also approved of it
Thank you for sharing
Hi Julie, thanks for your comment. I find that curry spice levels are a very personal thing and I'm glad you spiced your batch of easy low fat madras curry up to your family's preferred level. The tamarind paste does make a difference, though

Admittedly, we didn't have any tamarind paste (bloody bilo had run out!), but we found this a bit bland. Had to up the spices, then it was lovely. It was a good dish to get the kids used to curry.
