Curry powder is not so popular in Philippine cuisine, but there are some dishes that calls for this spice specially the meat and vegetables curries. I cooked this Filipino style beef curry for my family to appreciate this spice, because for them the fragrant of curry powder is too strong, that is why I promised them to cook Filipino style curry making it lighter, and they were able to appreciate the dish.
