Ingredients
- 1 Kilogram beef
- 3 onion
- 3 Chilly Green
- salt
- curry leaves
- 1 Cup water

- 1 ½ Tablespoons ginger
- 1 ½ Tablespoons garlic

- 1 Tablespoon Chilly Powder
- 1 ½ Tablespoons coriander Powder
- ½ Teaspoon turmeric Powder
- 1 Teaspoon garam masala
- 1 Teaspoon fennel powder ( Perinjeerakam )

Instructions
- Heat oil in a pan/pressure cooker. Add finely sliced onion, green chillies, curry leaves and salt. Saute until it becomes light brown.
- Grind together ginger, garlic, pepper powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, turmeric powder, garam masala, ani seeds powder, vinegar.
- Add this mixture and fry well.
- Add water and add enough salt into the gravy. Mix well. Then add beef and mix it again.

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
can i avoid using vinegar ? and no tomato too?
Vinegar adds a nice flavour. To an extent, vinegar can be replaced with fresh lemon juice. I haven't tried it in this recipe.
that makes sense... lime gives a sour lift !
Yet another nadan curry, liked it. Thanks Jane :)

Hi!! This looks delish! Is there a way I can make this without the pressure cooker? If so, how long does it need to be cooked for? How do I know when the meat is done?
