I had always disliked the white creamy stew during my childhood because brightly colored food appealed more to me..Food to me has to be hot and spicy, but as I grew, my taste buds sensed the flavour in these white colored gravies.The spices used in this gravy gives it an unique taste.
And now I cant resist from preparing this recipie almost every 2 weeks.
Have a look at beef stew recipie.
Ingredients
Beef -1kg
To cook beef:
Steam beef with 3-4 green chillies,add crushed mix of 1 thumb size ginger and 4 cloves garlic,add salt,1/2 tsp turmeric and 1/4 cup water.Peel 3 potatoes and place it on top of meat and cook.After it is cooked remove th potatoes,cool them down.Cut them to medium pieces.
Potatoes-3
Onion-1 medium
Green chillies-3
Cinnamon-3
Cardomom-2
Fennel seeds-a pinch
Cloves-3
Corn flour-1 tbsp
Curry leaves
Oil-2-3 tbsps
Corriander leaves-to garnish
Coconut milk taken from half coconut
[Grind the coconut with some water to extract the milk using a seive into a container,this I would call as the thick milk.
Next add water again to the ground coconut mix to extract the milk in same way as earlier to get milk of lesser consistency.I would name this as slim milk.collect this separately]
Salt-as required
Directions
Take oil in a pan and heat.
Crush cloves, cinnamon, fennel seeds and cardomom and add to oil and saute for a min.
Add 3 green chillies slit,curry leaves and lengthwise sliced onion and saute well.
Add 1 tbsp of corn flour and saute well with other ingredients in oil for a min.
Add slim coconut milk (which was taken the 2nd time) and allow to boil.
When it boils add chopped potatoes and add beef (as much as you require I use the amount equivalent to the potatoes or even less than that) with some amount of its stock (could 1/2 cup) and allow to boil for 1 min.
Finally add thick coconut milk (milk taken the first time) and remove from stove when bubbles start to surface.
Garnish with coriander leaves and serve.
