Directions

1
Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until soft and golden, about 5 minutes. Add the beef strips and brown on all sides.
2
Sprinkle the flour over the meat and stir to coat. Add the cloves, cinnamon, and curry powder, stirring for 2 minutes to toast the spices and release their aromas.
3
Dissolve the bouillon cubes in 1 litre of boiling water and pour over the meat. Add the diced tomatoes, cover, and simmer on low heat for 35–40 minutes until the beef is tender.
4
Stir in the apple, banana, shredded coconut, and raisins. Continue cooking uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5
Remove from heat and gently fold in the plain yogurt. Season with salt to taste.
6
Garnish with fresh parsley or chives and serve immediately with basmati rice or naan bread.

💡 Chef's Tip

For a richer, creamier sauce, substitute Greek yogurt for plain yogurt. This dish tastes even better the next day, as the spices and flavors continue to develop overnight.
