Beef In Spicy & Sour Gravy

What is Beef In Spicy & Sour Gravy?

Beef In Spicy & Sour Gravy is an authentic Malaysian dish that is favoured by the young and old. It is Spicy and sour due to the chilli and tamarind used with beef that falls off the bone. The meat just melts in your mouth and the spicy and tangy taste leaves an explosion of flavours in your mouth. The gravy is cooked to perfection and this comfort food is what you need right now. It goes well with steamed white rice, Nasi lemak (rich coconut rice), baked bread, roti prata (flattened crispy bread) and capati.

Known for its sweet and tangy taste, Tamarind is used all over the world to make chutneys, stews, sauces, and even desserts. But apart from giving your food a burst of flavour, tamarind comes with a lot of health benefits as well. Here are some of them:

1. Helps in weight loss

Tamarind is rich in fibre and has no fat content. Eating tamarind daily might actually help in weight reduction since it contains flavonoids and polyphenols.

2. Prevents peptic ulcers

Peptic ulcers can be very painful. These are basically sores that appear in the inner lining of the stomach and small intestine. Thanks to the polyphenolic compounds found in tamarind, this fruit can prevent these ulcers.

3. Effective in managing diabetes

Tamarind seed extracts are anti-inflammatory in nature and they are even said to stabilize blood sugar levels and reverse the damage of the pancreatic tissue in those suffering from diabetes. The enzyme alpha-amylase which is proven to reduce blood sugar levels can also be found in tamarind.

4. Helps with digestion

Tamarind has been used since ancient times as a laxative because of its tartaric acid, malic acid, and potassium content. Its ability to relax abdominal muscles is why it is also used as a remedy for diarrhoea. So, while the fruit is used to relieve constipation, the leaves provide treatment from diarrhoea, and the root and bark can be consumed to alleviate abdominal pain.

5. Aids a healthy heart

Tamarind is a very heart-friendly fruit. Flavonoids present in tamarind lower LDL or  “bad” cholesterol and raise HDL or “good” cholesterol levels, thus preventing the build-up of triglycerides (a type of fat) in the blood. It also has high potassium content which can help keep your blood pressure in check.

6. Takes care of your liver

It turns out that tamarind can take care of your liver as well. A diet rich in calories lead to a fatty liver and daily consumption of tamarind extracts can reverse this condition.

7. It can help you deal with allergies

It is an effective way to deal with allergic asthma and cough because of its antihistaminic properties. It’s also a rich source of vitamin C and can boost the immune system to prevent cold and cough.
