Beef Fry/ Kerala Pepper Beef Fry

Kerala Beef Fry Beef Fry (Kerala Style) is very popular especially in Tattukadas or fast food outlets. It can also be made at home.

Beef curry or beef varattiyathu is also served in thattukadas and restaurants in Kerala. Beef fry and Kerala layered parotta is a popular combo. It’s a great side dish for a crowd, so next time you have a party, you should give this a try. It is an easy recipe and tastes super delicious.

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa

Kerala Black Halwa/ Karutha Halwa/ Rice Flour Halwa December has finally arrived and it means it is almost Christmas time! How many of you look forward to the Season of Joy! My birthday also comes in December, so it is a double celebration for me :) How is the Christmas planning coming along for everyone?
