Notes
What Curry Powder Should I Use?
If you don't like heat, then I recommend that you use a mild curry powder. If you like heat then you can opt for a medium to hot curry powder.Want More Heat?
You can amp up the heat levels in this dish by adding a couple diced fresh chillies or hot chilli powder (maybe even both). I would say the recipe as it is, has a mild to medium heat level and that's because I used a hot curry powder.Another Quick Tip
Prep all your ingredients including the vegetables and beef into slices before starting this recipe. That's what makes this recipe super quick to make as you don't need to stop and start slicing every few minutes.Nutrition
