Beef Fry Boti - Crispy & Flavorful Snack

Step 1: Prepare Beef for Pressure Cooking

Place 1 kg boneless beef into a pressure cooker. Add 2 tablespoons of garlic ginger paste, 2.5 teaspoons of finely chopped green chili, 1 tablespoon of coriander powder, 0.5 tablespoon of cumin powder, 0.25 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1.25 teaspoons of salt. Pour in 2 tablespoons of vinegar.

Step 2: Mix Spices with Beef

Mix all the added ingredients thoroughly with the beef until the spices are well coated on all the pieces.

Step 3: Add Water and Onion

Pour 2 glasses of pre-heated water into the pressure cooker. Add one whole, peeled medium-large onion for flavor.

Step 4: Pressure Cook the Beef

Close the pressure cooker lid and place it on high heat. Once pressure is built (around 3:29), reduce the heat and pressure cook for 30-35 minutes until the beef is tender.

Step 5: Dry Excess Water

After pressure cooking, open the lid. If there is any remaining water, turn the heat to high and cook for a few minutes until the water completely dries up.

Step 6: Add Frying Spices and Cornflour

Add 1 teaspoon of chili flakes and 2 teaspoons of crushed coriander to the cooked beef. Then, add 6 tablespoons of cornflour (cornstarch).

Step 7: Coat the Beef

Mix the cornflour and spices thoroughly with the beef. The slight moisture remaining on the beef will help the cornflour adhere well. Ensure every piece is well coated.

Step 8: Deep Fry the Beef

Heat cooking oil in a pot for deep frying. Carefully add small batches of the coated beef pieces into the hot oil.

Step 9: Fry until Crispy

Fry the beef pieces for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until they are lightly crispy and turn reddish-brown. Do not overcook to prevent burning.

Step 10: Remove and Drain

Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried beef pieces from the oil and place them on a plate. If any pieces are stuck together, gently separate them.

Step 11: Garnish and Serve

Garnish the fried beef with finely chopped fresh coriander, cucumber slices, and green chilies. Serve hot with ketchup, BBQ sauce, or dynamite sauce as desired. Enjoy your delicious Beef Fry Boti!
