Rustic Meat Curry/Stew over Open Fire

Step 1: Sear the Meat

Place a large pan over an open wood fire. Add cooking oil and then the cubed meat. Stir occasionally to sear the meat until it starts to brown on all sides, which takes approximately 10-15 minutes.

Step 2: Add Spices and Aromatics

Once the meat is seared, add ginger-garlic paste or chopped aromatics, along with curry powder or mixed spices and salt. Stir well to ensure all meat pieces are thoroughly coated with the spice mixture. Continue cooking for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until the spices are fragrant and the meat is well coated.

Step 3: Simmer the Curry/Stew

Pour in water or broth, enough to partially submerge the meat and create a desired sauce consistency. Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pan if possible, or continue to cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 40-50 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the sauce has thickened to your liking.

• Maintain a consistent fire temperature for even cooking.

• Stir the meat frequently to prevent it from sticking to the pan and ensure even cooking.

• Adjust the amount of water or broth to achieve your desired sauce consistency.

• Add chopped vegetables like potatoes, carrots, or bell peppers during the simmering stage.

• Experiment with different spice blends to customize the flavor profile.
