Where to find ingredients
Most ingredients can be found in any standard supermarket. For the spices (curry, cloves, cinnamon), check the baking or spice aisle. High-quality shredded coconut and raisins are typically found in the baking or healthy snacks sections. Use fresh, firm bananas and apples for the best texture.
Preparation method
- Sauté the onion and beef in butter over medium-high heat until the meat is lightly browned.
- Stir in the flour, cloves, cinnamon, and curry powder, mixing well so the meat is evenly coated and the spices become fragrant.
- Dissolve the bouillon cubes in 4 cups of boiling water, add to the pan, and simmer over low heat until the meat is tender.
- Gently fold in the apple, banana, shredded coconut, raisins, and yogurt. Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken.
- Finish by sprinkling with fresh parsley and serve hot, ideally over white rice.
