Massaman Beef Curry

On my menu plan for this week is the delicious Massaman Beef Curry.  It is extremely easy to throw together in the slow cooker and wala!!  Dinner is ready!  it has been cooking away in my kitchen all day and my house smells divine.

I have been making this recipe for years and there are a few variations. There are a few other ingredients that you can add to enhance the flavour but these aren't available at ALDI just yet so I have listed them at the bottom of the recipe if you choose to use them.

This is the Aldi-ised version and tastes just as good in my opinion.  I encourage you to put it on you menu for this week.
