According to me cooking is an equal-opportunity talent and I find that anybody can cook. It is not limited by the age, profession, caste, colour or creed of a person. What is needed is the love for cooking. For me the passion for cooking does not stop in the kitchen, when I travel, I continue to be inspired by eating in some of the best restaurants around the world.

I am new to cooking and I like cooking.. I enjoyed your recipes and I leave u a question is use of coconut milk in beef curry.
Fabir, Thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked my recipes. There is absolutely no problem in adding coconut milk in Kerala beef curry. If you want you can exclude it.
Perfect
Thanks Fathima 🙂
Super and want to know how to prepare beef intestine.. pls give me a idea.
Praveen, Thanks for the feedback. Actually I haven’t tried beef intestine recipe. I think it will work out if you follow the methods of beef roast recipe.
What is the meat masala you use???? Its ingredients and if this ready made which brand??? thnks
Bernardete, Meat masala is a ready made spices mix used for meat preparations. It will be available in most of the Indian stores around the globe.
Does this recipe need 25 shallots? I think I’m reading it wrong- help! And is it better served with rice or a flat bread? Thank you!!
Laura, You can use 10 to 25 shallots in this beef preparation. Adding more shallots make it more tasty. The beef curry can be served with rice, flat bread and Indian dishes like appam, pathiri, chapathi, porota, kuboos, gee rice etc. Hope it will work out well for you. Thank you very much for the questions.
Thank u Shaan for this recipe. It’s very simple and tasty.
Thanks Joseph 🙂
Thanks for recipe Shaan. I always err on the side of adding water when using pressure cooker. Partially to do with being cautious. When using lean meat, how much water should I add to the pressure cooker?
Slam, the meat itself contains water. When you start heating it will come out. So no need to add water while pressure cooking it. If you want you can add a little water for the safer side.
I tried your chicken curry, it was outstanding. SUPER MACHA SUPER. I like it both you and your recipes. Thanks a lot.
Ranadev, Glad to know that you did well. Thanks a lot for the feedback 🙂
