Beef fry (ബീഫ് ഉലർത്തിയത്)

Beef fry (ബീഫ് ഉലർത്തിയത്)

For people who love non-vegetarian food, beef fry is something that is irresistible. Of the many dishes that you can make of beef, beef fry is probably the tastiest.


Ingredients:

1.   Beef - 1 kg (cut into small pieces)

2.  Onion 1 no (finely chopped)
     Garlic- 4 cloves(chopped)
     Ginger- 2 tsp(chopped)
     Curry leaves- As needed

3.  Coriander powder- 4 tsp
     Chilli powder- 2 tsp
     Turmeric powder- 1 tsp
     Meat masala powder - 2 tsp
     Garam masala powder - 1 tsp
     Cumin seeds (Jeera) powder - 1 tsp

4.  Salt- As required

5.  Curry Leaves
     Pepper powder- 1 tbsp(depend up on each one's taste)
     Mustard -As required
     Oil  - As required
     Coconut cut into small pieces (optional)



Method of preparation:

1. Take all the powders listed under (2) and mix it well. Roast this mixture in a pan lightly on the low flame, while stirring carefully. Too much of heat can cause the powder to be burnt and will spoil the taste of the dish.

2. Once the masala powder mix is roasted well, take the beef pieces cleaned and cut into small pieces, and add the roasted powder into the beef pieces. To this, add onion pieces, garlic pieces, curry leaves, ginger and salt. (Items listed under 2 and 4), mix all of them together with hands.

3. Cook all of these items together, preferably in a pressure cooker. Make sure that the beef is cooked enough. (4 whistles should be sufficient).

4.Take a heavy bottom kadai (iron kadai preferably) or a nonstick pan. Heat oil in a pan and sprinkle in mustard seeds. We can add coconut pieces cut into small thin squares also, into the frying mixture depending on your taste. When the mustard seeds start sputtering, add the curry leaves and stir well. Now add pepper powder to this, and add cooked beef. Let it simmer for some time with occasional stirring. Notice when the beef starts to turn darker in color. Keep the pan on the low flame until it turns dark. You can add a little pepper powder and fresh curry leaves for for better taste and flavor. Serve hot.
