Beef and potatoes curry

This is one of the traditional kerala beef curry recipe that I have made for years the only change is adding a little meethi leaves towards the end as garnish. Try this out the additional meethi does add a delicious flavor  to the meat and potatoes . You  can always add coconut milk for serving as a breakfast dish or make it a little dry  , it goes well with naan or bread.

Add the chopped ginger- garlic till raw smell is gone.

Add the garam masala , black pepper, cook for few mins , then add the cooked beef.

As beef is going to take some time to cook so cover the pan and let it cook on low flame, be sure to be mixing it once in a while so that it does not get burnt .

Add the cub sized potatoes  let it cook down for 5-10 mins till the potatoes are done .

After the beef starts to sweat out the oil , add the dried meethi leaves  .

Add salt as per taste if needed , and serve with hot rice or chapatti.
