Spicy Beef Curry Recipe - Kerala Style Beef Masala Recipe




I got so many request from viewers to share beef recipes. The only reason why i haven't shared any is i dont eat them. But when i told that to hubby, he said that he likes them so i can cook it for him alone. I was glad that i can share few recipes of that here so it may help you guys..Today he bought some beef, so i decided to make a simple curry or masala using that and make a biryani too. Hubby told that it tasted really really good and he asked me to make some more recipe too in future..
