Beef chilli recipe

This is one recipe I am not going to differ on. I will keep this recipe for generations to come just because it's authentic and tastes really good . Why would I make a difference in such recipes . My mom cooks a different version and I recently added few weeks ingredients here and there and it was yummy ! Fridays is just another wonderful day where I get to cook really good Malabar dishes. So this Friday was just niter happy day with beef curry ,beef Chilli recipe and ghee rice . My boys love beef and they dig deep into the small batches that I prepare for lunch. There will not be any leftovers for us to carry on to dinner. But no worries they enjoy every bit. I think this is my first chilli recipe on blog too.

Before  I go on the hike to my praises. I must say my cooking sometimes is a reck and it's not that appealing also . My mind and health all depends on my mood. If the family needs some good finger licking food then  they have to make me happy..I hate that part of me ..I cook best when I am so warmed and delighted. This beef chilli made my day..one of my boys did well at school and received a certificate and i was so happy. He loves beef and so I made this chilli recipe for him .

But as I said somethings have to go wrong in patterned life . After making a lively lunch , that's when the husband calls and tells he won't be for lunch which of course is annoying. So I put aside the beef chilli for home for dinner . For me when I make something new I expect...no i want a praise from him and since I expected too much I didn't get it , instead he asked why I cooked beef chilli and beef curry at the same time , ...I just told him I am experimenting a lot of things for this month so watch out what's coming out on the table ..  instant reaction to dumb question.
Here's the recipe for this beef chilli which I am sure you guys will love as did I ❤️

Irrachi varrttyathe/beef roast recipe

I have cooked this recipe many times and it's always a winner . It's a little different style of masala and the beef is loaded with pepper powder. The coconut is the essential part of the recipe. I prepare this for party and all other occasions as  well.. 

Recently for Eid I was terribly  missing this beef fry  but as it turned out, I had nothing to go with  in my pantry and somehow I wanted to try it out with the buttery buns as they do in some eateries.
