INDIAN BEEF STEW



Indian Beef Stew image

Last night I was hunting for the perfect recipe for a traditional Keralite(south-Indian)beef stew and I just could'nt find a "perfect" one anywhere on Zaar or on the food blogs I usually depend on...By the end of it all, I had read through sooo many versions of this recipe, this is what I finally created...DH(whoz very picky about authenticity) gave it two thumbs up!!! Traditionally it is served with Appams but it goes very well with regular white bread too..... [You may substitute beef with lamb/chicken as per preferance]

Tips:

  • Brown the beef before stewing: This step adds depth of flavor and color to the stew.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes are classic stew vegetables, but you can also add other hearty vegetables like parsnips, turnips, or rutabagas.
  • Use a flavorful broth: Beef broth or stock is the base of the stew, so make sure it's flavorful. You can also add other liquids like red wine, beer, or tomato juice for extra flavor.
  • Season the stew well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for a basic seasoning. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Simmer the stew for a long time: The longer the stew simmers, the more tender the beef will become and the more flavorful the broth will be. Aim for at least 2 hours of simmering time.
  • Serve the stew with crusty bread or rice: This will help to soak up the delicious broth.
