50 Recipes 2011, #12: Malaysian beef curry

Not one of my more useful weekends, but at least I tried this curry recipe. Could have been spicier (hard to believe, given that there are eight chile peppers in it), but there's a really nice depth of flavor and lemon/lime tang. Worked fine with low-fat coconut milk, and I added a few chopped carrots and daikon to make it feel less like eating a giant pot of meat for dinner.

The spice paste would probably be amazing on silken tofu, but that's something to try another day.
