Instructions

• In a pressure cooker add beef with all the ingredients mentioned under 'For pressure cooking' and mix well. Then over the flame, pressure cook it till 80 percent done ( I usually go for 1 whistle on medium high flame and then lower the flame and cook for 5-7 minutes or till second whistle is also heard). Now switch off flame and open the cooker after releasing the pressure. 
• Heat a pan on medium flame and when hot add in oil. Now add the finely chopped ginger and garlic and saute well. Then add in sliced onions and green chillies and saute well till onions turn soft and golden brown.
• Now lower the flame and add in turmeric powder and saute for 30 seconds then add in coriander powder sauteeing for 30 seconds and then Kashmiri chilli powder and saute for 30 seconds. 
• Add in the cooked beef along with the stock and on medium high flame cook for 5 minutes till some water content evaporates. 
• Now lower flame and cook on low for 20-25 minutes or till beef is cooked well and gravy attains a slightly thicker consistency. 
• Switch off flame and serve hot.
