Tips for Survival #1 - Beef Roast,Kerala Style

Here is a recipie for you to try if there are no Kairali or Kalpaka or Kalavara or any fancy named Kerala restaurants near by. Here is list of thing yo u need :

  1. Beef- As much as yo want
  2. Beef Masala -  Will depend of the qty of beef
  3. Chilli powder - Will depend on qty of beef and your taste
  4. Onion - I don't know yet. I took half of an avg sized onion for 1/4 kg beef
  5. Salt
  6. Pepper



















Experienced cooks out there will try to confuse you with so many other items, but trust me, you get decent beef roast with above items.

Step 1:
Cut beef into pieces of size you think is apporpriate. Wash it thoroughly to remove blood on the meat. 

Mix clean beef pieces with beef masala, chilli powder and salt. Wipe a little masala off that meat and check if it taste ok. Your will know if it taste ok.

Cook in a presser cooker(if you have one) or use whatever you have in your kitchen with atleast three times water. Cook till beef is edible. Take a piece in between, try to crush that using your fingers and you will know if it is cooked.

Stop when water has boiled off except a little which you need to spread the beef in a frying pan. 

Take onion(big), sliced equally and add this to hot oil in frying pan. If you feel that the masal on the cooked beef is not enough, put some masala also to this oil and stir it till onion is soft and yellow. Bring the beef with little gravy it has to this frying pan and stir it till it look and taste good. Adding pepper, garlic/ginger paste to will make it more enjoyable.

You have your beef roast ready!!!!

Let me know if you have any better ideas to make a beef recipies with little resources and with little time spent in front of stove.
