I made this recipe as written and it was absolutely delicious!
This is the best and easiest recipe and we love it’s taste and yumminess.
Made it according to the recipe. Will definitely try it again.
I think this was a really good and hearty recipe!! I loved the flavor profile and house smelled amazing as I was simmering. Anytime I cook with gram Marsala, I like to simmer a bit longer than the recipe calls for so the seasoning really melds into the dish. But! I overlooked that the simmer was med-high vs med-low and just a tad dried out. Oops! I added 1/4c water near the end once I realized my gaffe but still very good. I also added sliced Bella mushrooms during step 1/onion sauté. Served over brown rice. I would have loved to try with the coconut- didn’t have any on hand. I would make again.
Very easy to make. I had some leftover rice so added that. Did not use the coconut. It was very good. Will definitely make it again!
This was so delicious that I almost forgot to take a picture. It was nice and smooth; not at all overpowering. I had never used garam Marsala before, but I will be now. The only thing I changed, only because I had no peas, was substituting in frozen spinach cubes.
With using only one dish, it couldn’t be easier! Quick, satisfying and flavorful meal on a busy weeknight.
Delicious and aesthetically pleasing to look at! I served it on white rice and it was perfect!
I forgot to add the coconut (Unfortunate, since I’d gone all the way to the store to pick some up!), and being a garlic fan I added a second clove of garlic. But this recipe – as written – turned out fabulously! I had to share some with my neighbor, who loved it as well. Kudos and thank you for sharing this masterpiece! I loved it!
This is really good. I did make a couple changes after reading numerous recipes online. I added some canned diced potatoes, about 1/2 tsp turmeric, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and I didn’t have any coconut. Also I used canned diced tomatoes because I didn’t have any whole tomatoes. Still really good. For my kids I added some sour cream just to their individual portions just to mellow out the taste. It added a nice creaminess and my kids loved it. served over white rice. Will definitely be making this again. It was super easy for a fast week night meal.
Turned out great, whole family ate it up. I’ll add more veggies next time but overall it was very good as written.
Amazing dish! My family keeps asking for me to make it again. 10/10
I added a few extra veggies from my garden.. zucchini and a variety of tomatoes instead of tinned .
Loved this, served it on white rice, added plenty of tomato—-very tasty and something a bit different, and soooo easy to make. I made it in the morning so the flavors had a chance to blend.
Delicious. I loved the warmth of the Masala Curry with the beef and coconut.It was quick and easy to make too. I liked it so much that I made Empanadas with the filling. Wow that’s so good!
This was so easy to make and we LOVED it. The flavors play well together. We used ground turkey and it was wonderful. Thanks for sharing your family favorite!!!
My husband, son and I liked this! The spices in this season the ground beef nicely, and give it a warmth of flavor. We served this over Jasmine rice with naan bread on the side. Quick and easy to prepare as well.
Really nice recipe!!!…I cut the amount of paprika and chili power. You can really say it’s an Indian recipe, the flavors are authentic.
