Spicy Beef Curry

Beef curry is a versatile dish because you can eat it with pulao, biryani, or just plain rice.  It has many spices in it which gives the flavor a kick.  You would normally make beef curry if you had guests over because it is not something you would eat everyday.  Most people also serve this at their weddings because it is a special occasion.  When I entertain guests I usually create this dish; most people seem to really enjoy it.  Whether you have company or just want to try something new, beef curry is a delicious food to make.

Ingredients:

Beef with bones: 5 pounds
Ground onions: 1 cup
Ground ginger: 4 tablespoons

Green chilies: 15 whole
Kewra water: 2 tablespoons

Cooking procedure:

In big pot, mix all the ingredients except food color, green chilies, and Kewra water.  Cook everything else on medium heat.  Stir half an hour later.  When the meat is fully cooked and tender pour in the Kewra water and then cook it for 10 minutes.  When you see the ghee (butter) creating a layer on top mix the food color with 1 teaspoon of water and then pour it into the pot.  Then place all the green chilies in the pot and let it simmer for another half hour.  Enjoy this with rice, pulao, or biryani.
