Sample Recipe: Slow-Cooked Indian Spiced Brisket Gosht Assado

Prep time: 5 minutes / Cook time: 8 hours on low or 6 hours on high / Serves 6-8

1. Heat the slow cooker to high or sauté, and add the oil. Stir in the onions and cook until they soften. Then add the chile, garlic, and ginger, and stir.

2. Add the garam masala, turmeric, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and tomatoes, and mix. Then pour in the water and add the beef brisket.

3. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 6 hours, until the meat is tender. Remove the meat from the pan and cover it with foil to keep warm.

4. Using an immersion or regular blender, purée the juices and either simmer them on high, uncovered in the slow cooker, or transfer to the stovetop to produce a glaze (about 5 minutes).

5. Pull the meat apart with two forks and place on a platter. Pour the glaze over the meat and mix through. Garnish with fresh coriander leaves, sliced chiles, and scallions.

Easy Adjustment:

You can add 1 tablespoon of honey to the glaze to thicken it, which also adds a dash of sweetness.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons rapeseed oil
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 fresh red chiles, finely chopped
  • 5 garlic cloves, puréed
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon garam masala (page 23)
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds, ground
  • 4 to 6 chopped tomatoes (14 ounces/400 g)
  • 1 cup (250 ml) hot water
  • 2 pounds (1 kg) beef brisket
  • 1 bunch fresh coriander leaves, chopped
  • 2 fresh red chiles sliced
  • 4 scallions, sliced

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Combining Indian food with a slow cooker offers a winning combination. This book is perfectly timed to help us all reconnect with our slow cookers and offers a wonderful range of recipes."―Peter Sidwell, Founder of Simply Good Food TV

"With vibrant images throughout and informative writing both on the origins of these classic dishes and how to use this often neglected piece of equipment (the slow cooker), Hari has changed the way we look at and cook Indian cuisine. The book includes recipes to suit all tastes, including vegetarian and meat dishes, sides and even dessert! This is the perfect book for anyone with a busy lifestyle."―Tony Rodd, Chef at Copper and Ink

"A genuinely useful, informative book. Hari makes a virtue out of the slow cooker appliance as it chimes so perfectly with the traditional slow cooking required for many Indian dishes―dishes you can do 15 minutes of prep for, then leave to cook to perfection while you get on with other things."―Karen Barnes, Editor of delicious. Magazine

"These mouth-watering recipes will inspire you to create fabulous Indian-inspired soups, dhals, curries, rice dishes and sweets at home with minimum effort and maximum flavor. A must-have for all lovers of Indian food and fuss-free cooking."―Saira Hamilton (@SairaHamilton)

"Hari's book isn’t just full of recipes, there’s a ton of information about all the regions of Indian cuisine, how to get the best out of your slow cooker and even how to make your own spice blends."―Jamie Spafford from Sorted Food (@JamieSpafford from @sortedfood)

"This is one of those cookbooks you know you will turn to again and again―and of all the cuisines, Indian is the one that really does taste so, so much better when made yourself. Who knew making real, fresh Indian food could be so convenient?"―Rachel Brady, http://www.mrsrachelbrady.co.uk

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book, beautiful fragrant Indian meals from Hari
Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017

I follow Hari's recipes on her web site and on her app so had to buy the book. The recipes are easy to follow and for being new to Indian cooking I have learnt so much. Hari details a lot about the ingredients, spices and history of the meals at the start of the book so you are not going into cooking without background of the dish and how it is put together. I liked the history as it was a great knowing the background to the culture of this beautiful food. You do need to buy various spices which are easily found in the UK supermarkets or indian grocer. When you consider how many meals you will be able to produce and it is home made and healthy it is very low cost cooking homemade. I used to feel intimidated by spices but the advice Hari gives is great and it is like a friend learning you to cook. Every recipe I have made, over a dozen have turned out perfect, just like a high end restaurant. I love that Hari has made the recipes for a slow cooker which takes the worry out of leaving something on the stove as you can walk away and leave it. I would definitely buy a second book and I look forward to another coming out. I would love to see more photos of the finished dishes in another book which I cannot wait to buy. I highly recommend Fenugreek Chicken, Hot Goan Style Coconut Chicken, Chettinad Chicken, Chicken Biryani, Red Lentil Dhal but cannot fault any recipe I have made. Thank you so much Hari for the recipes.

I even read and enjoyed the introductory material (which I usually skip). The Indian Kitchen chapter was particularly useful in explaining the spices. I appreciated the descriptions of taste and texture of what you should have when finished. There are even some notes scattered throughout about health benefits. I've cooked about a dozen recipes before this book so not a novice but I feel that a beginner would not be lost.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great cookbook, but would love some photos!
Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2017

The book has very interesting recipes, and I like the fact that she doesn't use the silly approach of "set it and forget it", that in my opinion ruins most dishes prepared in the slow-cooker. The reason why I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5, is the lack of photos. There are no photos for any recipe in the book, and for an author who has a very reputable food blog, making a cookbook without photos is a bit surprising.

I am a very visual person, and love to see what the dish should look like - I understand that it rises the price of the book, makes its production more complicated, and would settle for a book in which not every recipe comes with a picture. But no photos at all? That's a bit much. Still, the recipes are so detailed and she evidently has a ton of knowledge and experience, so I am giving it 4 stars... Maybe in her next edition she can work on adding great photos too? ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to make recipes. So far so good.

I have not used it extensively, but so far so good. Today I made the yellow mung bean soup or whatever it is called ( I forget the title! ). I just happened to have a bag of split yellow mung beans on my shelf (doesn't everyone keep yellow mung beans in their pantry? :) ) as well as the spices needed to make the garam masala. So I threw this together, and it took 10-15 minutes. Cook the garlic and cumin in some oil, dump everything in the slow cooker. Easy Peasy.

Some of these recipes call for ingredients you can't just run down to Wal-Mart and get, you need access to a few spices needed for the garam masala and curries, but any good Asian store will have these.

This cookbook is terrific! I'm trying my third dhal recipe today. My husband is British and loves Indian food. I wanted to find simple recipes that wouldn't take all day to prepare, and this book is perfect for that. The author has a very helpful section at the beginning of the book, discussing various ingredients and staples, which was very helpful for a novice like me. I made a list of common ingredients, went to my local Indian store, and began the journey! :-D I bought an additional copy for my daughter and vegan son-in-law as well, as it has many vegan recipes, with quick prep.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too many required ingredients!!
Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2020

Ok, so I already had a slow cooker and decided to give this a try. I am not recommending it, since the list of ingredients is ridiculously long! The author lists necessary ingredients in the beginning, but then every recipe I looked at asked for something else! It took me a long time to acquire what I thought was “enough” and then it wasn’t! Other than that, I tried 2 recipes and only liked one of them.

Beginning of each section, the book has an image of one of the featured recipes. Not all the food images related to the recipe are on a page. The recipes are easy to follow and nicely broken down into steps.
I was given a slow cooker as a gift. Although I love Indian cooking and one could argue time-wise it would be faster cooking on the hob than slow cooking, in the end, the outcome is still the same. The recipes are authentic and have the same results in taste and appearance as what they would be on hob cooking. I've tried a few of the recipes now and slow cooking is great. Always something warm to come home to after a hectic work day.

Ce livre de cuisine est une merveille!
Toutes les recettes que j'ai préparé jusque là ont été délicieuses. Comme l'auteur le conseille, il faut juste prendre le temps de bien préparer ses épices et la moitié du travail est fait.
Je les mets dans des petits bols, dans l'ordre d'utilisation, en mélangeant celles qui vont être utilisée en même temps.
** Pour la cuisson, j'utilise un multi-cuiseur de Phillips mais un cuiseur Moulinex, Cookeo ou n'importe quel cuiseur qui possède une fonction mijotage convient (voire même une simple cocotte sur le feu, en cuisson douce) **

Da ich etwas vergleichbares nicht auf Deutsch gefunden habe, erstand ich dieses Buch auf Englisch. Es ist aber auch mit normalem Schulenglisch gut zu verwenden. Die meisten Mengenangaben sind auch nochmal in ml angegeben, wobei ich mir allerdings auch Maßgefäße für amerikanische Einheiten zugelegt hatte. Ist aber für dieses Buch nicht unbedingt nötig. Es sind sowohl Fleischgerichte als auch vegetarische Gerichte enthalten. Ich finde, dass gerade für die indische Küche ein Slow Cooker toll ist, weil die Gewürze sich noch besser entfalten können. Wir nutzen dieses Buch viel und gerne.
