Beef 65 | Crispy Beef Fry | Beef Pakoda | Beef Pakora

Looking for a very crispy yet tasty beef fry?? then this is the recipe for you. This is a very scrumptious recipe that goes well as starter or sides. Beef 65 is my favorite but I don't prefer restaurant versions, as they will be under-cooked and tough to eat. Sometimes under-cooked beef can cause some health risks like tape-worm infections because the flesh of cow is infected often with these worms. So its better to prepare it at home. Cooking for atleast 30 minutes makes the flesh tender and gets rid of the worms and other microbes. The batter used in this recipe does not stick to the bottom of the pan and hence makes cooking easy too. Everyone in my family loved this crispy fry especially my Dad, he is a huge fan of my beef 65 preparation. Also my Dad wanted me to prepare the chilli beef (click here for recipe) again today, that I had prepared just few days before, now he is a fan of my chilli beef too!! So today I prepared this beef fry along with chilli beef recipe and we all enjoyed it. I had some excess batter left after frying the beef pieces which I used for making Onion Pakoras, that was so crispy and delicious. It was a triple hit today and am so glad. I will post the onion pakoras recipe tomorrow. Now lets see what's required and how to prepare Beef 65 / Crispy Beef Fry recipe. This is a very easy method that I have explained elaborately.
