Heat oil in a pan and add ginger garlic paste to it.

After you get that pleasant smell of sauteed ginger-garlic, add onions and saute again on high flame. Stir continuously.

Add tomatoes and green chillies [optional] after the onions start to turn light brown and add some salt to the mixture.

Put the flame to medium and add Meat masala and Red Chilly powder.

After mixing the masalas evenly, add potatoes, beef cubes and cocunut flakes to the mixture and stir well.

Put the flame to high and stir well for 5 minutes.

Then lower the flame and close the pan and leave the beef to cook for 15-20 minutes. :- Be sure it doesn`t burn while you leave it there, so check in once everywhile and stir it.

Put the entire mixture into a pressure cooker, pour 1-1.5 small cups of water into it and steam it. It takes lesser steam as the beef is already a bit cooked.

After the beef is cooked, the water should have almost dried up.

:- Serve hot with porotta/ chappathi/ rice.
