Dry Beef Fry/ Unakka erachi chathachathu


Dry beef is fairly a new dish for me as we don't have it in Trivandrum. One of my friend introduced me to this exceptionally tasty dish and now I am a big fan of it. Not to mention my hubby.
Dry beef chathachathu is a great comfort food which goes very well with kanji.

 Ingredients:

Unakka beef- 10 pieces
Chilli powder- 1/2 teaspoon
Dry chillies- 5
Bird eye chillies/ kanthari mulaku- 5
Shallots- 10
Garlic- 3 cloves
Curry leaves- 1 spring
Oil- to fry
 

Preparation:

Soak dry beef in cold water for about 1/2 an hour just to make it a bit tender. Wash very well and marinate in chilli powder. Shallow fry beef on a low flame for about 5 minutes and remove from oil. Sauté all other ingredients in the same oil for few minutes. (you can substitute bird eye chillies to green chillies or dry chillies.).
 
Transfer all ingredients to a mixer grinder and crush on the pulse mode. Your unakka irachi is ready to be served.
