A good curry with beef and peas, and freshly made naans, happiness is as simple as that sometimes. I like this recipe because it cooks fairly quickly, half an hour and you're done (a bit more if you're making the naans too but so worth it).

Top it with an undecent pile of cilantro because why not? I love that and I even added more after I took the picture. Dipped my warm naans in the thick, spicy sauce, it was amazing. Family friendly meal and super heart warming.
