The beef in this slow cooker beef curry is so tender and full of flavor. The great thing about it is that you can adjust the amount of chilies depending on your tolerance for spicy food.
In this dish, the chunks of beef are first browned and then added to the slow cooker. Onions, garlic, chilies, ginger and the spices are then cooked together and added to the slow cooker. Finally, the garam masala and yogurt are added to the dish. The yogurt adds a creaminess to the dish that I really enjoyed while the mixture of spices and chilies gave it the perfect amount of heat and flavor. Overall, this dish is a winner and I will be making it again in the future.
