Pathiri & Beef Curry Recipe – Part 1 🥩🔥
Rich, spicy, and packed with authentic Kerala flavours!
For this beef curry, I use 1.2 kg beef steak, cut into bite-sized pieces. In a pressure cooker, add:
🌶️ 1½ heaped tbsp chilli powder
🌿 ½ tsp turmeric powder
🌿 1 tbsp coriander powder
✨ ½ tsp garam masala
🧂 Salt to taste
🍋 Juice of ½ lemon
🥥 A drizzle of coconut oil
🌶️ 4 green chillies
🍅 2 tomatoes or 200g canned tomatoes
Mix everything well, close the cooker, and cook for 5 whistles.
In a pan, heat 2 tbsp coconut oil and add:
🌿 1 tsp fennel seeds
✨ 1 cardamom pod
✨ 1 small cinnamon stick
🍃 1 bay leaf
Sauté for a few seconds, then add 3 sliced onions and cook until golden brown. Add the cooked beef along with the stock and simmer for 15 minutes. Finish with fresh curry leaves.
Serve hot with pathiri and enjoy! ❤️
