Helo dears, back to blogging after some days. I had prepared too many dishes to post on blog but unfortunately couldn’t upload on time. But since I am back to blogging now will be doing it regularly.

Here I have come up with Beef stew recepie.. It’s different than the normal stew preparation as we don’t add any spice powders,it’s cooked completely in whole spices. I have just added black pepper  powder while boiling beef just to avoid the raw smell of the meat after getting cooked.

So let’s checkout the recepie below
