Ingredients

• Cubed Beef – 2 lbs or 1 kg approx (I use Stew Beef for this recipe)
• Thinly Sliced Onions – 1 big
• Slit Green Chillies – 4
• Curry Leaves – A sprig
• Curry Leaves – A sprig
• Coriander Powder – 2 tsp
• Red Chilly Powder – 1 tsp
• Meat Masala Powder – 1 tbsp
• Home Made Garam Masala Powder – 1 tsp
• Salt – to taste
• Coconut Oil (വെളിച്ചെണ്ണ) – 2½ Table Spoon
• Oil – 2 tbsp

• Wash the beef thoroughly and drain all water.
• Marinate the beef with all the above ingredients and keep it aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
• Pressure cook the beef with 1/2 cup water. The cooking time varies depending on the beef used. For stew beef, I pressure cook it on medium heat for 2 whistles. The beef which we get in Kerala has a longer cooking time. So pressure cook accordingly (If you don’t have a pressure cooker, you can cover and cook the beef in any big pan for around 45 minutes to 1 hour).
• Meanwhile heat oil in a non stick pan and saute onions, green chillies and curry leaves until the onions become translucent.
• You can add coconut slices at this stage and continue sauteing for a few more minutes.
• Reduce heat and add red chilly powder, meat masala powder, garam masala powder and coriander powder. Saute for 2 minutes.
• Open the pressure cooker and transfer half of the cooked meat without any liquids to the above pan.
• Continue sauteing the beef so that the masala gets coated on the meat. Add salt if needed
• Roast the meat on medium low heat for 10-15 minutes till it is completely dry and turns into a dark brown color.
• Serve with Rice/Chappathi or as a starter with Drinks.
• ou can use the remaining half of the pressured cooked meat and gravy as a Curry with Appam, Roti etc.
