Indian Ground Beef Coconut Curry is a Keralite dish
In Kerala, they make a ton of stew, or as they call it: ishtu. Ishtu. It’s fun to say… and even more fun to eat. You can make all kinds of ishtu with chicken, lamb, beef, potatoes, eggs, etc. Because this is a mildly spiced stew, it’s usually eaten for breakfast, but in our house, we eat ishtu for lunch or dinner. When making beef ishtu, I’ll usually use the leftover beef from my Indian Fried Beef recipe, but when I don’t have fried beef in the freezer, I’ll use ground beef instead. I usually use one can of coconut milk when making this dish, but you can use two or add water/stock if you prefer a soupier stew. I make my stew nice and hearty – a lot of meat with every bite. If you like a spicy stew, add more Serrano peppers. The recipe below is subtly spiced but still packs a lot of flavors. Love this recipe? Give one of my other Keralite recipes a try!
