    How to Turn a Veg Curry Into a Non Veg Stew?

    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

    Instead of just reheating, you make dish variations with things lying around in your pantry.

    South Indians need some form of gravy to go with all the time and I take most dishes and make them into curries by adding just cream or coconut milk. This one is an example of that.

    Recipe Tips

    • The cream gives the leftover Non Veg Stew its thickness. You can also use thick coconut milk instead. If you use coconut milk, mix it in after the beef gravy is added.
    • You can also use garam masala instead of fennel powder, which imparts an intense flavor to the dish. Use fennel powder and garam masala together, but be careful with proportions.
    • Use the salt sparingly. Taste and add as needed.
    • Beef bouillon is optional; it is used to add beef flavor. If you have enough beef gravy, you can skip the bouillon.
    • Overheating the curry may cause it to curdle. If you've added cream or coconut milk, simmer it instead of boiling it.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    1. I don’t have leftover beef gravy in the fridge, so can I skip this step?

    Yes, you can skip the beef gravy and use beef bouillon to add a non-veg flavor.

    2. What is beef bouillon?

    Beef bouillon is a broth made by simmering beef bones and meat in water with vegetables and spices. It's a flavorful liquid that can be used as a base for soups, stews, and sauces. You will get a concentrated beefy flavor when you add it to your cooking.

    3. What are the other best combinations to go along with Leftover Non Veg Stew?

    It would be best with breakfast options like appam, idiyappam, and pathiri, and it goes well with lunch options like ghee rice or pulao.
