About Beef Ularthiyathu
Kerala Tourism describes beef ularthiyathu as a popular meat specialty of Central Travancore. Its rendition combines trimmed beef with a ground spice paste, shallots, garlic, ginger, curry leaves and small pieces of coconut.
Red chilli, coriander, turmeric, pepper and cumin form part of the seasoning, alongside cinnamon, cloves and cardamom. Vinegar adds acidity, while coconut oil and mustard seeds contribute to the final tempering.
The slow-cooked meat is finished with shallots, garlic and curry leaves in the coconut oil. The official recipe calls for hot service, with the coconut pieces remaining among the seasoned beef.
