Kerala Beef Olarthiyathu or Ularthiyathu is also known as Kerala beef fry. I have used fresh sliced coconut pieces for the tadka which gives this beef fry a fantastic taste and bite when you are enjoying this. Please use coconut oil to make then only you will get the original taste and flavor.
You can enjoy this dish with variety of other dishes, it goes well as a side dish. Ingredients For The Marination 750 Grams Beef - cut into chunks 1½ Tablespoons Level Red Chilly powder 2½ Tablespoons Coriander powder 1 Teaspoon Level Black Pepper powder ½ Teaspoon Turmeric powder 1½ Teaspoon Kerala Style Homemade Garam Masala 1 Teaspoon Meat Masala 2" Piece Ginger 10 Big Cloves Garlic 1½ Tablespoons Vinegar 1½ Teaspoons Sea Salt For The Tadka 1 Teaspoon Mustard seeds 1 Teaspoon Fennel seeds 8 Baby Onions - sliced 1/3 Cup Sliced Coconut Pieces 5 Sprigs Curry leaves 4 Tablespoons Coconut Oil 2 Green Chillies- slit
Method
Marinate cleaned beef with all the ingredients listed under for marination. Keep it aside for an hour at least in the refrigerator. I kept it overnight in the refrigerator.
Place this marinated beef in a pressure cooker, with 1½ cups of water. Take one whistle on high then reduce the flame to low and cook till done (mine took 25 minutest to cook - this depends on the quality of the meat). Once the pressure cools then only open the cooker.
Check for doneness or cook it again till done. If there is any excess gravy or water dry it since this is a side dish, the gravy should be saucy thick ( it should coat the meat) and not thin.
For The Tadka
Now heat a pan with coconut oil and add mustard seeds, let it splutter, then add fennel seeds, curry leaves, and onion. Sauté the onions till it turn just light golden.
Now add coconut pieces and saute for 2 minutes.
Pour this into cooked beef and mix it well. Cover it and let it cook on low flame for 2 minutes, so that the flavors marry each other. Switch off the flame it's ready.
Enjoy this yummy beef fry.
It really delicious, enjoyed this with appam a classic combination. Can have this with dosa, crusty bread too.
My Notes Add generous amount of curry leaves and coconut oil.
