Beef Curry

Meat
1 lb beef (small cubes)

Whole Spice

2 bay leaf

4 green cardamom

1 black cardamom

5 cloves

1 cinnamon stick

3 dry red chilies

Sauté

1 large sliced onion

2 strands of curry leaves

1 cup sliced coconut

4 green chili

2 tsp each ginger garlic paste

½ tbsp turmeric powder

1 tbsp fennel powder

Tempering

2 tbsp coconut oil

1 tbsp mustard seed

1 dry red chili

Few curry leaves

Directions:

Heat 1 cup coconut oil in a pan and add all the whole spice and roast for few mins. Add the onions, curry leaves, sliced coconuts, and green chili to the pan with the roasted whole spice. When onions turn golden add ginger and garlic paste and cook until the raw smell is gone (or until it doesn’t stick to the pan) and then add sliced tomatoes and cook for 5 mins with a lid. Now add all the dry spices and cook till oil separates and add ½ cup boiling water and cook for 3 mins. At this point add beef and mix well. Then add around 2 cups of water and add salt and cook for 30 mins. Mix in-between and add water if you desire more gravy. At this point, the beef should be fully cooked. Add a sprinkle of meat masala and mix it. In a separate pan add 2 tsp oil and add mustard seed, onions, curry leaves, and 1 dry red chili. When its cooked add to the beef curry on top.
