Beef Pilau

Great use of beef stew meat! wonderful beef stew with coriander, coconut and tomatoes. this is a dish from east africa, but has lots of indian influence. it combines the indian spice coriander with several classic african ingredients...peanuts, coconut, tomatoes, and green beans. I think you could substitute okra for the green beans if you wanted to.
