Food Advertising by

• curry leaves (kadipatta)  5-6 leaves
• 3-4 cloves garlic

Method:
1. Pressure cook beef till tender
2. Heat oil in a wok/thick bottomed kadai and fry the onions till golden brown
3. Reduce flame and add bafat powder and tomato puree. Fry for about a minute
4. Add grated coconut* and toss till you get a nice aroma for about 2-3 mins.
5. Add only the meat pieces retaining the stock. Mix well with the masala & allow to cook on slow fire for 3-4 minutes stirring every now & then to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pan
6. Add the stock and salt to taste and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
7. Turn off flame & in another small pan (tadka/fon/tempering dish) heat oil, toss in garlic cloves mashed a bit and also the curry leaves, turn off immediately (as soon as the curry leaves let out a nice aroma) but before the leaves get burnt
8. Garnish the meat with this tadka & serve hot

Tip*: You can twirl the grated coconut in a blender for about 10 seconds just to get a better texture which is not too fine & not too coarse
