Comfort Food That’s Still on Track
This isn’t your average takeaway curry. By using lean beef chuck steak and light coconut milk, we’ve kept the calories and fat content in check without compromising on that signature Massaman taste. Served with fluffy white rice and loaded with tender veg, it’s the kind of dish that tastes like it took all day to make because it did (but the slow cooker did all the work).
What you’ll love most is how little effort it takes. Just sear the beef, sauté the onion and curry paste, throw it all in the slow cooker, and let time do its thing. It’s simple, satisfying, and made to suit your goals.
