Preparation Method

1.      Marinate the beef with all the above ingredients and keep it aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

2.      Pressure cook the beef with 1/2 cup water. The cooking time varies depending on the beef used. I pressure cook it on medium heat for 2 whistles. 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).

3.      Meanwhile heat oil in a non stick pan and sauté onions, and curry leaves until the onions become translucent.

4.      Reduce heat and add red chilly powder, meat masala powder, garam masala powder and coriander powder. Saute for 2 minutes.

5.      Open the pressure cooker and transfer cooked meat without any liquids to the above pan.

6.      Continue stirring the beef so that the masala gets coated on the meat. Add salt if needed.

7.      Roast the meat on medium low heat for 10-15 minutes till it is completely dry and turns into a dark brown color.
