Notes
You can get malaysian meat curry powder from an indian or asian grocer. While you can use other curry powder, I highly recommend you source traditional meat curry powder (its so worth it!).
Reduce the quantities if you are using a western style curry powder like keens. I use the Babas brand curry powder.
Bellini Users
Use your blunt blade for this recipe.
At step 2 use speed 1 in place of the 'soft' function.
At step 7 use ST temp and speed 3 if using an Intelli, popping a tea towel over the steaming attachment. If using a Supercook you'll need to use 130°C or 270°F and speed 4.
