Beef Spinach Curry

Love curry but Mom can't handle the heat. This doesn't stop us from having a bowl once in while on the kitchen table :)

1 tbsp. olive oil
2 tbsps. mild curry paste
500 grams ground beef
1 grated onion
1 peeled and grated carrot
2 crushed garlic cloves
1/2 cup rough chopped parsley
3/4 cup water
150 grams baby spinach leaves

Mix ground beef, onion, carrot, garlic and parsley. Set aside.
Heat oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the curry paste and stir until browned. Add the beef mixture, cook stirring to break up the lumps for 5 minutes until brown.
Stir in water and bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer for 15 minutes or until the beef is cooked through. Add spinach and cook for a minute or until just wilted.
Serve with hot basmati rice and pappadums*.

*Note: Pappadums are thin-like crackers or flat-bread that are common in Indian cuisine. You can buy this from Indian grocery stores.
