Method of Preparation

1. Combine Beef, Chilly powder, Coriander powder, Turmeric powder, Garam Masala powder, Ginger Garlic paste, Salt, Pepper powder, Vinegar and water in a Pressure cooker and cook till done. The cooking time varies with the Pressure cooker and the tenderness of the beef. For a tender piece of meat in a good cooker  10 minutes in a medium temperature after the first whistle will be enough. If there is extra water when you open the cooker, boil and let the water evaporate completely.
2. Heat a shallow wide pan over medium heat and add oil.
3. When the oil is hot add the coconut pieces and fry till it is golden brown.
4. Add sliced Onions, Shallots, Sliced ginger and Garlic and 2 sprigs of Curry leaves and saute till everything is golden brown. Once this is added the coconut pieces will not brown any more.
5. Dump the cooked beef into the onion mixture and on medium heat fry them till a brown color is attained.
6. When it is almost done sprinkle a teaspoon of coconut oil, half a teaspoon of Garam Masala powder and some Curry leaves.(Don’t avoid this step as that gives a good flavor) Saute for a minute more and switch off the flame. It will become dark as it sits.

Notes: This can be made using only coconut oil. But if you don’t like that, use whatever oil you are using for sauteing, but don’t forget to add some coconut oil at the last moment.

Make it, enjoy the deliciousness and
serve it to your family with love...
