Recipe for Quick Gai In A Pot

This recipe is another one from my lazy diaries. In my case,I’m extremely creative on my lazy days & I absolutely Love it! Haha

Here’s a recipe that I created when I wanted to eat Beef chilly plus curry plus something Green & spicy but had absolutely no time or energy to cook an entire feast.

In times like these, the Pressure cooker becomes my Best buddy 😊

Since this is a Beef dish, I've named it 'Gai' which traditionally means Cow in Konkani or Hindi… I just wanted to give this dish a Nice Fun name 😉

This is a Quick and Easy One Pot recipe which requires no Fancy Ingredients but packed with Flavour and Spice. It's a Must Try.

Ingredients

½ Kg Beef(washed and cut into cubes)
6-8 Curry Leaves
2 Tspn Ghee or Oil(I prefer using Ghee)
1 Cup Water
1 Tspn Sea Salt or ½ Tspn Table Salt
½ Tspn Bouillon stock cube(optional. If you're not using cubes, increase the amount of salt)

Grind to a smooth fine paste

½ Onion(You can slice the other half and add it into the cooker if you don't have anything else to use it in)
½ Tomato(You can slice the other half and add it into the cooker if you don't have anything else to use it in))
¼ Capsicum(optional)
6-8 Medium sized Garlic cloves
2-3 inch piece of Ginger
1 Tbspn Vinegar
½ Tspn Turmeric Powder
1 Tspn Jeerem Meerem Powder(or any Garam Masala powder)
2 Green Cardamom
1 cup Fresh Green Coriander with stem
4 Spicy Green Chillies(alter as per taste)
½ Tspn Sugar or 1 Tspn Tomato Ketchup

Instructions

Transfer the Beef Cubes into a Pressure Cooker along with the Curry Leaves, Ghee, Salt & Bouillon Stock cube
Add the Masala paste into the cooker. Add 1 cup water into the mixer jar, give it a mix and add that water into the pressure cooker and put the lid on and close the cooker
Place the cooker on Medium heat and allow the curry to cook until 2 whistles are released and Once all the steam is released from the Pressure cooker, open the lid of the cooker
Note:- The Beef that we get here in Dubai cooks really fast.So please ensure after 2 whistles you check if the meat is cooked. If not cooked, close the cooker and cook it for another 1 or 2 whistles or until done
Boil the curry on high flame for 1-2 minutes and turn off the flame and Enjoy this Curry Hot with either Pulao, Bread, White Rice or Chapatis
Note:- You can use this recipe for Chicken, Mutton or Fish as well. Use a Pressure cooker for Mutton since Mutton takes time to cook. For Fish and Chicken you can cook it in a vessel.
If you don’t wish to use Ghee or Oil in this recipe, you can skip it.
