Instructions
- Heat up a pan and add some olive oil to sauté the onions until tender and start to brown

- Include the ground or minced beef and mix these together and allow to simmer, breaking up the meat and leave to cook for a few minutes.
- While you simmer the ground beef, cook the rice. Add a cup of soaked clean rice to a pot and add 2 cups of water and some salt and bring to boil. Turn down the heat and simmer the rice with the lid on until all the liquid has been soaked up. This should take about 20 minutes.
- Pour in the water and apple cider vinegar and the jam and mix this together with the meat.
- Add the grated carrots and the potato pieces or cubes. Then stir and mix them into this meat mixture.
- Place the lid on the pan and allow to simmer for a while until the carrots and the potato cubes are tender and cooked, and this should take about 20-30 minutes.
- Serve with rice and chopped tomatoes and bananas to combat the flavors of the curry.
Notes
- instead of tomato in a can, use chutney, for a better flavor.
- the curry is a bit mild, use garam masala instead or add more curry.
- Added some green bell peppers for color and added veggies
