Nadan Beef Curry

Beef is one of our family favorites, especially R's! I know, I know, red meat is not so good for health and it is recommended that its consumption be limited! I tell this all the time too, though I can't stop eating beef once it is prepared. This is a quick and easy beef preparation that I came across in the Vanitha magazine in the article "Taste Route".

Beef	- 2 lbs
Onion	- 1 (chopped)
Turmeric Powder	- 1/2 tsp
Chilly Powder	- 2 tbsp
Coriander Powder	- 1 1/2 tbsp
Cinnamon	- 2 - 1" pieces
Cloves	- 5
Pepper Powder	- 1/2 tsp
Fennel Powder	- 1 tsp
Garlic	- 15 pods
Ginger	- 3" piece
Coconut Oil	- 2 tbsp
Salt	- to taste
Curry Leaves	- 2 twigs

1. Mix the cube sized beef pieces with Turmeric Powder, Chilly Powder, Coriander Powder, Pepper Powder, Fennel Powder, smashed Ginger and Garlic, Cinnamon, Cloves and Salt well.
2. Keep aside this marinated beef for at least 1 hour.
3. Heat oil in a pressure cooker.
4. Add some curry leaves and let it splutter.
5. Add the onion and saute until transparent.
6. Add the marinated beef, mix well and let it cook. No water is needed, as there will be water coming from the beef.
7. Open the cooker after the pressure is gone.
8. You could reduce the water by heating it a little more or add additional water if you need more curry.

It is an excellent spicy beef dish and a quickie too!
