Directions

  • Cooking the Beef Curry
  • Crush the garlic using a mortar and pestle into a coarse paste.
  • Heat oil in a pressure cooker and saute the crushed garlic for a minute.
  • Add the thinly sliced onions and continue to saute until they turn transparent.
  • In the mean time,  grind the mustard seeds adding a little vinegar. You could also use mustard powder instead.
  • When the mustard is finely ground, add the chilly powder, coriander powder, cumin powder, fenugreek powder and turmeric powder and mix well with the remaining vinegar and water to make a fine paste.
  • Add this paste to the cooker and saute until all the water is gone and oil starts to ooze out.
  • Add the beef and salt to the cooker and cook for around 3 whistles or until the beef is cooked. Turn off the stove when the beef is done. No need to add any water, as there will be water coming from the beef.
  • When the pressure is released, open the cooker and turn on the stove again.
  • Add the coconut milk to gravy and mix well.
  • When the mixture starts to boil, turn off the stove
  • Serving the Beef Curry
