This recipe is for all the beef lovers out there . It is a little different from the traditional beef roast and I am sure you guys are going to love it :)

Beef Roast with Coconut Milk

Ingredients (Serves 4 people)

1.75 lb beef, cut into bite sized pieces
1.5 cups first extract coconut milk or 400 ml canned coconut milk
3 big onions, sliced
2 tomatoes, sliced
1 tsp chopped ginger
4 or 5 cloves of garlic, chopped
2 or 3 green chilies, slit length wise
3 tbsp chilli powder
1.5 tsp meat masala or garam masala
2 or 3 pinches turmeric powder
2 tbsp coconut oil
salt to taste

Method of Preparation

1. Put the beef pieces, coconut milk, turmeric powder and salt in a pressure cooker and pressure cook it for 4 or 5 whistles in medium heat. Allow the pressure to release by itself.

2. In the mean time, heat coconut oil in a bottom thick pan. Add onion and saute until they are light brown in color.

3. Add chopped ginger, garlic and green chillies to it and saute for 2 min.

4. Now add the sliced tomatoes to this and cook until they are soft.

5. To this, add the chilli powder ,meat masala and salt and stir well until you get a thick masala.

6. Now add this masala in the pressure cooker and mix the masala well with the  beef cooked in coconut milk.

7.  Cook this until you get a thick gravy. (Do not pressure cook. Stir and scrape every two minutes to avoid sticking to the bottom)

This roast goes well with rice, chappathi, pathiri etc. I always find it tastier the next day.

You can try the same recipe with chicken also. In that case you don't need to pressure cook the chicken. Cook the chicken in coconut milk in a bottom thick vessel instead.
