Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon

Salt to taste

Water for mixing batter

Coconut oil for deep frying

Curry leaves - 1 spring for garnishing

Directions to make:

1. First of all, cut the cleaned beef into thin slices (to fry fast). I prefer deep frying method other than cooking beef in a pressure cooker.

2. In bowl, take cornflour, rice flour, ginger garlic paste, soya sauce, chilly powder, turmeric powder, pepper powder, fennel seed powder, garam masala, lemon juice and salt with the sliced beef and mix well. Allow it to sit in fridge for at least 4-5 hour or an overnight

3. Then transfer the marinated beef into the sizzling hot oil and deep fry it in medium - low flame till it done and the beef is dark brown in color.

4. One minute before removing the beef from the oil, add curry leaves and slitted green chillies and fry.

5. Remove the fried items from the oil and transfer it to a paper towel to remove the excess oil

6. Serve hot
