This dish I am sharing today can be made for snacks or can
be eaten as dinner too.
It is very easy and yummy!!!!
You can replace the beef with mutton or chicken.
Ingredients
Beef (boneless) : 1 kg
Onion Sliced lengthwise : 2 large
Curry Leaves : 1 cup
Green Chili (Slit lengthwise) : 4-5
Garlic paste :
1 ½ tsp.
Ginger Paste : ¾ tsp.
Turmeric : 1 tsp.
Salt :
to taste
Oil :
2-3 tbsp.
Masala
Black Pepper : 2 tbsp.
Fennel Seeds : 2 tsp.
Cumin Seeds : 1 tsp.
Method
Clean the beef and cut into bite size pieces. Put it in a
cooker add little salt and turmeric and pressure cook it for 15-20 minutes or
till the beef is just cooked. Add very little water as the beef will leave
water too and we want this dish to be little dry and not gravy. Do not make it
tender at this point.
While the meat is getting cooked in a separate tawa/griddle
roast the pepper and fennel till you start getting the roasted pepper smell.
Once its almost done but not burnt add the cumin and give a final roast. Let it
cool and dry grind the masala and keep it aside.
In a wok/kadai add oil .When the oil heat up add the onion
fry till they turn slightly pink. Add the slit green chilis and ¾ cup curry
leave and fry till the onion just starts to turn brownish. Add the ginger
garlic paste and fry for few more minutes. Now add the boiled beef and add little more salt ...you might need it .Taste and check. Start
frying, if you have excess water in the cooker add them little by little and
keep stirring the beef at high heat. When you see most of the water is absorbed
add the grinded masala and stir for another few minutes to incorporate all the
masala.
Add ½ cup water and the rest ¼ cup curry leaves and cover
it. After 10 minutes almost all water will be absorbed and you should have a
blackish dry gravy.
Enjoy this with Appamg or Idli. You can also have it with
Malabar Paratha.
