6. Cover the pot and let it cook on high heat for 10 minutes.
7. After 10 minutes, uncover the pot and give it a good mix.
8. Cover the pot again, reduce the heat to low flame, and let it cook for about 2 hours or until the meat is soft. Stir occasionally.
9. Once the beef is cooked and the gravy has thickened, garnish with fresh Coriander and green chillies.
