Onion                             -- 2 medium / 2 cups ,sliced
Ginger                           --  1 tsp, finely chopped
Green chilies              --  2
Curry leaves               -- 3 - 4 sprigs
Coconut oil                 --  as required
Mustard seeds           -- 1 tbsp

To grind :

Fennel seeds              --  ½ tsp

Star anise                     --  1 small

Kashmiri chilly powder -- 1 tbsp
Turmeric powder     --  ¼ tsp
Coriander powder    --  1 tbsp



Preparation:

In a small blender, grind all the ingredients in the "To grind" section into a thick paste.

Heat oil in pan. Add sliced onion,ginger,green chillies and 2 sprigs of curry leaves. Saute until onion turns translucent.
Now add the ground masala and fry until oil starts to separate. Add beef and salt and mix well.



I used a slow cooker for cooking. At this stage, transfer the mix into the slow cooker and cook on low for 6 hours or until done.
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a small pan. Add the mustard seeds and let it splutter. Add the curry leaves and switch off the flame. Pour this on the curry and give a quick stir.

If using a pressure cooker, add required amount of water to get it cooked and cook for 2 - 3 whistles or until the beef is done.
