Ingredients

For the Beef Stew:

  • Beef (cut into cubes)
  • Onions
  • Garlic
  • Tomato paste
  • Cumin powder
  • Garam masala or beef masala of choice
  • Riko cubes or Maggi cubes
  • Salt
  • Water

For the Sides:

  • Potatoes
  • Eggs
  • Beans (your choice)
  • Oil
  • Pepper

For the Chapati:

  • Flour
  • Water
  • Butter or oil (for layering)

Method

  1. Boil the Eggs and Potatoes Start by boiling some eggs and potatoes. The boiling process is simple: peel the potatoes, place them in water, and let them cook until tender.

  2. Brown the Meat In a separate pot, brown the beef chunks evenly. Season the meat with a bit of salt to enhance the flavor.

  3. Add Aromatics and Tomato Paste Once the meat is browned, add chopped onions and minced garlic into the pot. Then, stir in the tomato paste until everything is well-mixed.

  4. Incorporate Spices Next, add cumin powder, garam masala (or your preferred beef masala), and Riko or Maggi cubes. Pour in a small amount of water, as this is a stew and we don't want it too watery. Allow the beef to cook for approximately 15 minutes before setting it aside.

  5. Prepare the Beans Meanwhile, for the beans, heat some oil in a pot, add garlic, and sauté briefly. Then, toss in the cut beans, season with pepper and salt, and lightly fry them before setting them aside.

  6. Make the Chapati For the chapati, prepare the dough by mixing flour and water. After resting the dough, form it into small balls. Roll each ball flat, and for fluffy layered chapati, apply a bit of butter or oil between layers while rolling it out again. Cook the rolled chapati in a heated pan without oil initially, then flip and cook on both sides, adding a little oil until they are fluffy and golden.

  7. Assemble the Dish After everything is cooked, peel and slice the boiled eggs. Serve them alongside your beans, boiled potatoes, and the flavorful beef stew.

This meal is simple, delicious, and sure to impress anyone at your table. Enjoy your cooking experience, and don’t forget to share your results with us!
