Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds beef shank (or boneless beef, with marrow bones)
- 0.25 cup ghee
- 1 medium onion, sliced thinly
- 1 tablespoon garlic paste
- 1 tablespoon ginger paste
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 3 tablespoons keto nihari masala
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon red chili powder

- 1 teaspoon coriander powder
- 4 cups beef broth (preferably homemade with bones)
- 1 whole lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions
Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions and sauté until they turn golden brown.
Stir in the garlic and ginger pastes, cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the beef pieces and bones to the pot, browning them slightly on all sides.
Mix in the coconut flour and stir well to coat the beef.
Add the keto nihari masala, salt, red chili powder, turmeric, and coriander powder.
Pour in the beef broth, ensuring the beef and bones are completely submerged. Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot, allowing it to simmer for about 3-4 hours, stirring occasionally, until the beef is tender.
Check for seasoning and adjust salt if necessary.
Once the beef is fully cooked, turn off the heat and let it rest for about 10 minutes.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and slit green chilies.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side for added flavor.
