Flavored Spicy Meat Recipe
Though this is not one of those marinate-and-cook creations, this is not too complicated either. It is especially good recipe for summer, since the meat is unusually flavored with the appetizing aniseed.
Ingredients
- ½ kg meat, well washed
- 1 tablespoon curd
- 1 piece of ginger, ground
- 5 cloves garlic, ground
- 3 green cardamoms, pounded
- 1 small piece of cinnamon, pounded or powdered
- 2-3 cloves, pounded or powdered
- 3 tablespoons cooking oil
- 2 large onions, sliced
- 1-1/2 cups curd
- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 1 teaspoon aniseed, powdered
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 tablespoon fresh coriander, finely chopped
- SaIt and pepper to taste
Utensils
Pressure cooker; a pan to marinate the meat
Method
- Lightly beat the curds and add to it the ginger, garlic cardamoms, cinnamon, and cloves. Rub well into each piece of meat and leave aside for a couple of hours if possible.
- Heat the oil and fry the onions a golden brown. Remove from the oil and keep aside.
- Add the meat to the same oil (you may need to add some more) and fry well till lightly browned all over.
- To the curds, add the rest of the ingredients except the fresh coriander. Add this mixture to the meat in the pan. Close the pressure cooker and bring to maximum pressure.
- Lower the heat and cook till the meat is tender- this should take between 15-25 minutes, and this will be a dry preparation. If you prefer a curried preparation, add more water accordingly.
- Serve garnished with the fresh coriander.
