Kerala Style Beef Fry

me being a hindu and that too being born and brought up in bby,it was a taboo to eat beef. at our place mom only used to cook chicken and other sea-food. It was only when i moved to Joburg, tht i finally got the courage to make beef.
I didnt want to try any curry style, cos tht's how i usually make the chicken...this time i wanted to surprise hubby dear with my naadan(local) version of beef-chilly. he used to keep raving abt the beef dishes that u get in kerala(even hindus over there eat beef..no taboo...its a favourites amongst the mallus)

This is how i went abt it...with fingers crossed. Did turn out well...

Ingredients :-

beef- 500 gm(cut into small cubes)
2 large onions - thinly sliced
coconut silvers - 2 tbsp
ginger julieenes - 1 tbsp
green chillies - 4-5 sliced diagonally
garlic crushed - 1/2 tsp

For grinding

pepper - 4-5
chilli powder - 1/2 tbsp
coriander powder - 1 tbsp
curry leaves - 2 sprigs

turmeric powder - 1/4 tbsp
salt - to taste
cumin seeds - 1/4 tsp

Method:-
Cook the beef with some salt and turmeric powder and water....In some oil, fry the cumin seeds, when its done add the ginger and garlic.After some time, add the chillies and the curry leaves...when the chillies start to change color, add the onions & the cocunut silvers and fry them till theyre golden brown.
Meanwhile, grind, chilli, coriander and pepper but not too fine, so that u can bite into them and feel the heat ;) . add this to the fried onions once theyre properly browned.add the cooked beef and some of the broth to this mixture and let it fry. Fry the beef,till the color changes to a nice dark brown color.......njoy wid roti's or as a side-dish wid rice...
