Ametha see byan
Beef curry with potatoes
Ametha see byan is a Burmese beef curry with potatoes, ginger, lemongrass, onion, and garlic. I serve it with ohn htamin, coconut rice.
See byan describes the oil separating from the sauce as the moisture cooks off.
Notes
- The recipe is the beef curry with potatoes in Burma Superstar, by Desmond Tan and Kate Leahy. I use more oil than the book calls for, so it splits out properly at the end.
- It's better after a day or three in the fridge. If you braise it ahead, stop before the potatoes, then reheat gently and add the spices and potatoes on the day.
What I use
- Dutch oven for curries and braises: Lodge enameled, 6 qt (opens in a new tab)
