Grind the ingredients under ‘To grind’ to a smooth paste.
Into a pressure cooker on medium heat, pour vegetable oil followed by finely minced onions. Sauté until light brown.
Reduce the flame and add the ground masala paste. Sauté until the mixture turns dark brown and leaves the sides of the vessel. It is important to fry this way otherwise the gravy will taste raw.
Add beef pieces and cook for a few minutes.
Pour in water and salt to taste. Cover and cook for 3-4 whistles or until the beef is cooked.
Once the steam has escaped, open and cook until the gravy thickens according to your preference. Add a few curry leaves (optional).
