beef

Few days back when I saw a post uploaded by one of my friend of Beef curry prepared in dry roasted coconut gravy,I thought of giving it a try.. I gave it a slight innovation by adding yam which is not very common. Usually raw plantain,potatoes or Chinese potato is added as combination with beef. But I thought of trying it with yam and it turned out well. Check out the recepie below 👇
