Spice Paste Recipe
1 teaspoon cumin seeds or powder
1 teaspoon coriander seeds or powder
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
4 cloves
4 cloves garlic
6 small shallots peeled
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
Instructions
-
To prepare the paste first dry roast the cumin and coriander seeds in a pan over low heat for 3-4 mins. Be Careful not to have it too hot else they will burn. You can tell they are ready when they release their fragrant smell which you will easily sense.
-
Then grind them together with the peppercorns and cloves until fine - We used spice or coffee bean grinder.
-
Now add to a hand Blitzer bowl or food processor and add in the garlic, shallots. Add a little oil to wet the mix so that it keeps turning in the processor and is slightly wet.
-
Cut the beef ribs into single portions
-
Turn on the instant pot to saute and when hot add the oil-wet paste mix to the bowl and cook it for 3-4 minutes stirring.
-
Add beef ribs to instant pot and cook for about 5 minutes while you continue stirring
-
Then add the tamarind paste, sweet soy sauce, salt, pepper, and water to the bowl
-
Cook on high pressure for 25 mins and 10 minutes natural pressure release
-
After cooking then taste the broth and add salt, pepper, sweet soy sauce. I also suggest adding a little bit of chili and then taste. You will find the chili does bring the flavor to life.
-
Then serve in a bowl topping with spring onions and dried shallots
