To clean the koorka/Chinese potato the easiest way is to put them in a cloth bag or a sack and gently hit a few times on hard surface or on the floor. It sounds weird but you will notice that the skin will get separated in this process. If there is any excess left, scrape off with a knife. Wash thoroughly and then cut into small pieces.
Clean and wash beef and cut into small pieces. Marinate with ginger garlic paste,vinegar,pepper powder, turmeric powder and salt. Set aside for half an hour.
Cook marinated beef, sliced onion and koorka in pressure cooker. Add half cup of water and cook in medium flame till 3 whistles, reduce the flame and continue cooking for another 5-6 minutes and switch off the flame. Allow it to cool down a bit.
