Spicy Beef Curry

I am so sorry I haven’t posted any new recipe lately! I’ve been quite busy with a few things lately, but to compensatefor the long absence, here is a very delicious and spicy beef curry recipe. This is actually another guest post by Rajib, my Bangladeshi friend. Following the success of his Bangladeshi fish curry recipe, he decided to share another Bangladeshi food recipe with us, that is, Spicy Beef Curry.

Bengali recipes are one of the tastiest, spiciest and most flavorful in the world. Today, I want to share a very simple
bengali recipe with beef. Beef takes more time to cook than chicken or fish, so patience is needed for a very delicious beef curry!  Topping the curry with some fried onions at last brings an exquisite taste to the dish.
