CURRY BASE & RAITA
Place a pot (big enough for the curry) over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the diced onion and butternut pieces until golden and softening, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the grated ginger, the korma curry paste and fry until fragrant, 30-60 seconds (stirring constantly). Add the coconut milk and 150ml of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the curry has thickened, 15-20 minutes.
FRESHNESS
In a small bowl, combine the yoghurt with the grated cucumber and seasoning. Set aside.
MORE ADDITIONS
Once the curry has thickened, add ½ the chopped coriander and the drained chickpeas, and simmer, 1-2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season. Cover and set aside.
SIZZLING STEAK
Place a pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. Pat the ostrich dry with paper towel. When hot, sear the ostrich until browned, 2-3 minutes per side (for medium-rare). In the final 1-2 minutes, baste with a knob of butter. Remove from the pan and set aside to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and seasoning.
POPPIN’ POPPADOMS
Return the pan, wiped clean, to medium-high heat with enough oil to cover the base. When hot, shallow fry the poppadom, about 30 seconds per side. As soon as the poppadom starts to curl, use tongs to flip it over and flatten it out. Keep flipping and flattening until golden and puffed up. Alternatively, heat the poppadom in the microwave until crispy, 20-30 seconds.
CURRY CRAVINGS SATISFIED
Spoon some glorious veg curry into a bowl and lay over the juicy steak slices. Finish off with dollops of the creamy raita and side with the crispy poppadom. Garnish with the remaining chopped coriander. Time to dive in!
