Thermomix: Roo curry

Do you know kangaroo meat in high in protein, iron, low in fat and it has a omega3. Who don’t like to try kangaroo meat in a curry. Try this kangaroo curry from mine. You can’t find grassy taste in this curry dish. This taste liked beef rendang.

*Most of the recipes use chopped onion and garlic, then straightaway, add oil and sauté onion. This technique saves very little time but it destroys the taste of the curry. Cooking technique is very important for curry dishes. It’s make a great difference to the dish. So follow my steps of cooking with this curry dish.

Preparations time; 15 minutes plus cooking. 
Serve 3-4.

Hints & Tips:
This curry, taste better if you serve next day.
If  you like bit more hot spices add extra ½ tsp hot chilli powder or 3 chopped red or green hot bird eye chillies.
Ground your own coriander, cumin and fennel. It’s aroma & taste is better then the one  you buy from the shop. Keep in air tight small bottle or a container.

Why I’m adding fresh rosemary; I  have cooked this curry few times, the curry did taste and smell of  fresh grass. So I did some experiments  to get rid of the grassy taste and smell. So rosemary is the key ingredient for that.  
It is easy to grow rosemary in your garden even in a pot. Rosemary is a versatile herb which can be used in meat dishes to enhance the flavour.
