Receta Chilli Beef - Indian style
Chilli Beef is a hot and spicy, delicious recipe that goes well with any kind of Indian bread varieties, Dosa, Hot steamed/boiled rice, Fried rice, Pulao, Biryani, etc. It so delicious and will taste like any restaurant version curries, yet the preparation needs very basic ingredients that can be found in your kitchen pantry. Its a hot preparation but still you can alter the spiciness, by cutting down the addition of green chillies if you don't want the recipe to be too hot. You can use this masala as Pizza topping too, for a delicious desi masala flavored Pizza and also as a filling for kati rolls. I prepared this recipe today and it was so good and a great hit too, just try it and you'll know. My brother is a very picky eater when it comes to non-vegetarian recipes, but today he could not resist but taste and he ate almost half of the preparation, its always the best proof in our family, when my brother eats more than usual, to make others know that the recipe was too yummy. He is also the best critic and know what!! he said the recipe was yummy :) So now lets move on to the recipe.
