METHOD


  • I have used a prestige pan junior for making the curry.    
           



  • Heat the pan , when warm add 2 Tbsp oil, when the oil is hot add the chopped onions . Sauté for a while. Then add the ginger-garlic.Saute till the raw smell goes away.



    • Sauté the onions till slightly brown , then add the spice powders and curry leaves. Stir for a minute and then add the chopped tomatoes.





            • Put in the beef . Stir well, add salt and pressure cook on high for 1 whistle and cook on low for 5 minutes. Cook longer depending on the cooking time of the beef.
                   

                   


            • Open after the pressure releases naturally. Add lemon juice as per taste.


                             
            NOTES
            • If you using cooked beef to make the curry, then use chopped garlic and ginger and not the paste.
