This is an easy peasy beef curry. To be frank, I always prepare it with the leftover beef from previous day. It is well flavored with potato, coconut milk and the spices.This goes well with bread, chapathi, pathiri and appam.
Ingredients
- 1 potato
- 1 ½ Cups beef (cooked)
- 2 onion (medium)
- 2 Chilly Green
- 2 ½ Teaspoons garlic
- 2 ½ Teaspoons ginger
- ½ Teaspoon turmeric Powder
- 1 ½ Teaspoons Chilly powder
- 2 ½ Teaspoons coriander Powder
- 1 Teaspoon garam masala
- 1 tomato (big)
- ½ Cup coconut milk Thick
- 1 Cup coconut milk Medium Thick
- curry leaves
- coriander leaves
Instructions
- Cook potato in a cooker upto 2 whistles.
- Finely slice onion and saute it by adding salt, green chilli, curry leaves and oil. Saute until it becomes light brown color.
- Grind garlic and ginger into a paste form and add it. Saute it well.
- Add turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala and saute well. ** Beef should be cooked just with salt and turmeric powder. In case beef is cooked with masalas (leftover beef), remember to adjust the spices in the recipe.
- Add finely sliced tomato and saute till tomatoes are done.
- Peel cooked potato and cut into cube sized pieces. Mash half of the potatoes. The gravy gets thickened with this. Add potato to the onion tomato gravy.
- Add cooked beef to the above gravy.
- Add medium thick coconut milk to it. Bring to boil and leave it for around 5 minutes. Add finely sliced coriander leaves.
- Add thick coconut milk. Bring to boil and switch off once gravy is thickened.
- **Preparation of coconut milk - Grind 1 ½ cup grated coconut with ½ cup luke warm water. ½ cup thick coconut milk can be extracted from this. Luke warm water helps you to extract coconut milk well.
- Grind the same coconut with 1 cup luke warm water. 1 cup medium thick coconut milk can be prepared from this.
Notes
Beef should be cooked just with salt and turmeric powder. In case beef is cooked with masalas (leftover beef), remember to adjust the spices in the recipe.
making this now :)
Let me know how it comes out :)
Mixed bag Jane:( We loved the taste, but i think we had a tad bit of extra spice in it. The beef was already marinated in pepper. Perhaps that added to the spice. But it sure was flavourful. Will nail it next time for sure:)
You can adjust over spiceness with more coconut milk to an extend..
