Prepare the Beef Skin:
Begin by cleaning the beef skin thoroughly. Boil it briefly, then discard the water. This step helps to remove any impurities and excess fat. -
Make the Spice Paste:
In a blender or food processor, combine the shallots, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and candlenuts. Blend until you achieve a smooth paste. Add salt, seasoning powder, and ground black pepper to the paste and blend again to incorporate. -
Slice the Vegetables:
Thinly slice the green chilies, red chilies, and green tomato. These will add freshness and a hint of heat to the dish. -
Cook the Spice Paste:
Heat a bit of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the spice paste and sauté until it becomes aromatic and starts to release its fragrant oils. -
Add Vegetables and Beef Skin:
Add the sliced green chilies, red chilies, and green tomato to the pan. Stir well to combine. Pour in enough water to cover the mixture and bring it to a simmer. -
Combine and Simmer:
Add the pre-cooked beef skin to the pan, stirring well to ensure it’s coated with the spice mixture. Toss in the bay leaves and kaffir lime leaves. Adjust seasoning with additional salt or seasoning powder if needed. -
Final Touches:
Continue to simmer until the flavors meld together and the liquid reduces to a thick sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired. -

Once the dish has reached the desired consistency and flavor, remove from heat. Serve hot and enjoy the rich, aromatic flavors of this delightful beef skin dish.
