Beef Chettinad | Easy Pressure Cooked Recipe | Kravings

Ninja Foodie, Instant Pot and Pressure cooker users rejoice. In this recipe Beef is cooked in a pressure cooker to get an incredible soft texture. I used my Ninja foodie, but you could use your Instant Pot or any other electric pressure cooker, a regular stove top pressure cooker OR you could just cook this longer in a pot on the stove top. The name Chettinad Chicken conjures up a vision of intense flavours of spices, curry leaves and coconut

The recipe for this dish hails from Tamil Nadu in India. Beef is enrobed in a wonderful combination of dried chillies and spices, curry leaves and grated coconut and is shallow fried in coconut oil. This version will yield a thicker gravy more suitable to eat with rotis or appams but you can easily make this a more gravy type consistency by adding more water to the ground spice paste.
Here are the ingredients and steps to make this recipe!
