Spicy Beef Fry

Pepper is one of my most favorite spice!Love anything made with this aromatic spice!

Hot and spicy Kerala style beef fry,spicy food lovers can’t resist such gravies isn’t?Pepper based beef boiled and stir fried with minimal spices in coconut oil.I love the flavor get from frying Kerala delicacies in coconut oil.Delicious combination with any kind of rotis.

This is not a dry fry,it’s a semi gravy type that goes well with vellayappam,rice crepes,chapati and puris.All the veggies and spices along with the meat are first boiled in pressure cooker and then stir fried by adding a little coconut oil and simmering it until you get this consistency.

Always we need to take care while making such gravies are to use less onion,because while simmering the gravy onion release its sweetness and the gravy will taste sweet.To avoid that try to use less onion while stir frying such gravies.(Mom’s tip ☺)
