Kalyana veetile style Beef Varattiyathu | Beef Ularthiyathu

A

Kalyana veetile style Beef Varattiyathu is a delicious and traditional styled signature dish quite popular in Kerala Cuisine. You can also term it ‘Beef Varattu’ for short. Also called ‘Beef Ularthiyathu’, the dish is quite popular among the Christian community. This Beef Varattiyathu is neither a curry nor a fry but an in-between dish. Cook the marinated red beef in a pressure cooker and then slow roast in a spicy masala with coconut tidbits and curry leaves. If you haven’t tried Beef Roast yet, try this finger licking recipe and be a master. I highly recommend the dish as the most delicious among beef based dishes. Don’t forget to send feedback. Beef Ularthiyathu has always been an authentic recipe that’s been followed generations to generations and the nostalgic memory lives on and on. Unlike the usual curry form, beef is best savored among Malayalees in the fry or roast form.

Like every Malayalee this is one of my all time favorite beef dishes that my family and friends often relish. I am sure you are aware of the beef ban in other parts of India, but luckily in Kerala the ban has not affected much. Okay, I am not going into the political side of the ban, but I am here to show my love and affection to all beef lovers out there through this mouth watering Beef Varattiyathu. No festival in Kerala is ever complete without a Beef Ularthiyathu dish. Thattukadas and toddy shops are some of the popular spots selling this yummy Beef dish with the same love and authenticity regarding its preparation. The dishes are charged economically so the common folks can enjoy. Beef is nutritious, rich in protein and other vital nutrients required for body. You can discover a well detailed Beef Varattiyathu recipe here. And a little tip, always buy beef from known sources so the beef bits are tender and not too hard.
