"This recipe is awesome! There is so much flavor in the beef and gravy and when you pair it with the crispy sweetness of the carrots and heat from the pepper it's just luscious. I did make a few changes for ingredients I didn't have and I also cut the recipe in half. I substituted a little bit of fennel seed and anise seed for the star anise. I also paired the carrot with a long hot green pepper instead of the chili pepper but it still had enough heat. I also used sherry instead of the wine. I highly, highly recommend this. Thanks Nigella!!

"This is some awesome curry. I used the leftovers that I had in the fridge, chicken stock instead of vegetable and some chicken chunks. I also didn't have any tamarind paste so I used honey instead and omitted the sugar, served the curry over rice and it was great. I highly recommend!
