Beef Ularthiyathu

Beef Ularthiyathu

Beef Ularthiyathu or roasted beef fry is a delicious mouth watering signature dish of the Christian community. Filled with nostalgic memories, this is a sure dish during festive occasions and gatherings. Each state in Kerala has its own variations in making the dish. Our grandparents used to slow cook beef via the traditional way in a clay pot over the old fashioned ‘Aduppu’ for over 2 hours. The clay pot, the smoke and the slow heat imparted, renders a unique taste and flavor to the dish. Beef Ularthiyathu with Porotta is a widely popular Thattukada dish in Kerala. We have included the spicy Beef dish for quick reference. Beef pieces are cooked in a fried spicy masala and later roasted with coconut pieces and curry leaves. The beef dish is well detailed in short simple sentences.
