3.BEEF TEHARI

Tehari is an authentic Bangladeshi aromatic rice that packs a pleasant punch, contributed by green chillies and curried beef. There are many versions of tehari. However, Bangladeshi tehari is pre-dominantly a rich dish that is always made with beef.


Ingredients:
                    1.5 kg beef, small pieces
                    1 kg aromatic rice
                    1 tsp cumin
                    1 tsp coriander
                    4 sticks of cinnamon, 2 inches each
                    4 green cardamoms
                    10 black peppers
                    1/2 tsp nutmeg
                    1/2 tsp mace
                    3/4 cup mustered oil
                    1 cup sliced onion
                    2 tbsp. ginger paste
                    2 tbsp. garlic paste
                    1/2 cup yoghurt
                    3 bay leaves, 8 cup water
                    1 cup milk
                    15 green chillies
                    1 tbsp. ghee (for flavour)
                    Salt to taste


Method:
               Take cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cardamom, black peppercorn, nutmeg, mace and grind. Wash the meat and drain all water. Heat oil in a large pan and fry the sliced onion till golden brown. Add meat, ginger and garlic paste, yoghurt, salt, bay leaves and the ground spices. Cook in medium heat for 25-30 minutes or until the beef is cooked and tender. Add one cup of water, bit by bit, and stir the meat occasionally. Separate the meat, keeping the gravy and spices in the pan and set aside. In a same pan, add remaining water, ghee and milk, bring to boil and add salt. Wash and drain rice and cover it. Once the water boils again, add the whole green chillies and cook on medium heat. When rice is about 50% done, add the cooked meat. Mix them carefully so that rice doesn't become mashed and cook covered, on medium-low heat. Turn off the stove but keep the lid on for 15 minutes before serving. Serve with kebab, salad and chutney..
