I have taken 3/4 kg of Beef. Washed and cleaned with salt and vinegar .Have cut it into small pieces
make the pieces according to your preference
Lets make the masalas for this .For this take a Kadai
The masalas are going to be ground well. Add some coconut oil to the Kadai
Heat the 1 1/2 tbsp oil
Add 1 1/2 onion to it
WE can slice the onion anyhow as we are going to grind it
Just Saute the onions well
1 small ginger and 4 cloves of garlic crushed together
Add 3 green chillies center slit
Some curry leaves
Add some salt
On Medium flame Saute it well, till the raw smell goes
Mutton Roast and Beef Roast is almost the same recipe just that the meat is different.Also few changes here and there
These few changes will change the taste of the dish completely. Which ever video you see there might be minute differences that make the dish totally different taste
This is a Kuttanadan recipe
The onions should be brown in colour to add the masala powders
This brown shade of the onions is more than enough
Bring the flame to low
Add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
Add 3/4 tbsp chili powder
1 tbsp coriander powder
Mix it well
There should be sufficient oil to saute this masala
Always remember to fry these masala powders in low flame
1 tsp meat masala. i have used eastern's meat masala
1/2 tsp garam masala.I have made this garam masala powder.Do check out the video for your reference.
Mix it well
Add 1/4 tsp Fennel seeds powder
Mix well
We are not adding tomato for this recipe.Instead adding vinegar. If you do not like vinegar you can add one small tomato
Saute till the raw smell goes
Add 2 tsp of white vinegar
After this cools down add very little water and grind this to fine paste
This is how it looks once the masala is ground to fine paste
We need to add this masala to the cooker
Taste this masala at this point if you do not eat beef !!
Adjust the spices accordingly
Salt should be more as we will add the meat to this masala
Switch on the flame
Cook this masala for mins
After sauting it for mins add the beef to the masala
I have used the beef with the bones.
Mix the masala well on to the beef
We need to put this for 2 whistles as i have got tender beef. If it is in India you might need to add more whistles for the beef to cook well
We can check the beef if it is cooked in 2 whistles else we can put it for more whistles accordingly
I am not adding more water as the water from the beef will be sufficient
On medium flame 2 whistles
You can check the piece if it is cooked or not. if it is still hard to slice through then you need to add more whistles
To roast this take a Kadai
Heat around 1 tbsp coconut oil
Add some coconut chunks
This coconut chunks give you the authentic taste
you can avoid this step if you do not have coconut chunks
Fry this on medium heat
When the coconut chunks turn golden shade add 20 sliced shallots
if you dont want to use shallots you can use 1 onion as well
Add 3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
1 tsp of ginger finely chopped
3 green chillies
Saute this well
Taste the beef (if you eat beef) if the salt is correct
If you add shallots there will not be any sweetness to the dish like onions
Add curry leaves
Saute until golden shade
you can ask me doubt through the app .I will be able to respond immediately
replying to mails will not be immediate as I am getting lot of mail requests.
Adjust the salt according to the taste of the beef gravy
After the shallots turn golden shade , only then add the cooked beef
Check the type of beef you have purchased and adjust the whistles accordingly. If you want add some water to it .
Add the cooked beef. Even though i didnt add water there is sufficient water from the beef. so if the beef is tender the no of whistles is less.
Now we need to roast this till it turns dark
We need to roast it well. This is the time consuming step.
if oil is not sufficient we need to add more oil to roast it perfectly
you can see the gravy has dried up completely and the color is turning dark
Now you dont have to use the spoon the stir. just flip the pan like this
you can roast it according to your preference .Now it is almost done. you can roast it more if you prefer
you can add 1 tsp pepper powder
taste the beef to know the amount of pepper powder you need
Mix it well
Add some curry leaves
After 5 more mins i am switching of the flame
this is ready to be served
Hope all of you will try this recipe and send me the feedback
My husband has given a go ahead for the recipe.
