Description
A warming curry that can be as mild or hot as you want, depending on how much fresh chili pepper, ginger and dried cayenne powder you add. This dish can also be vegetarian if you omit the beef and substitute more fresh vegetables, or a little tofu. Serve with jasmine rice and Sautéed Bok Choy.
