Beef has always been a
big favourite among the Syrian Christian community in Kerala. No occasion is
complete without a beef dish. Some of the best beef dishes hail from Kottayam,
Tiruvalla and other parts of Central Kerala .
Today, I am sharing a
beef curry which is extremely easy and yummy!
Enjoy!!!
Ingredients
Beef - 1kg
Turmeric - ½ tsp
Salt - to taste
Shallots chopped
- 5 to 6
Big Onions chopped
- 1 cup
Ginger Paste - 1
tbsp
Garlic paste - 1
to 1 ½ tbsp
Curry Leaves - 2
to 3 sprigs
Coconut Oil - 2 tbsp
(I used Olive oil)
Meat Masala - 1
tbsp
Garam Masala - ½
tsp
Red Chilli powder
- 1 tsp
Kashmiri Chilli powder
- 1 tsp
Coriander powder
- 1 tsp
Pepper powder - 1
tsp
Coconut pcs
(Thengakothu) - ¼ cup
Tomato – 1
Method
Clean the beef and cut
into small pieces. Marinate the beef with turmeric and salt and keep aside.
Pour oil in a pressure
cooker and sauté the onions till they turn golden brown. Add ginger &
garlic paste and sauté till raw smell is gone. Now, throw in all the spice
powders and sauté for a few minutes. Now, add the tomatoes and sauté till oil
separates. Then, add marinated beef along with the coconut pieces (thengakothu)
into this and combine everything well. Add curry leaves and about 3/4th cup
of water and cook upto 3 whistles on a high flame and keep on a low flame for
about 15 to 20 minutes. (Depending on cooking time of meat)Open the pressure
cooker when the steam is completely released. If there is excess water, reduce
it by keeping it on a medium flame till you get the right consistency.
Serve with
Rice/Roti/Kerala Porotta.
