Details and Ingredients

Beef Dry Fry (BDF) is a spicy Kerala delight, featuring tender beef pieces stir-fried with a robust blend of spices until perfectly dry and succulent. The dish is seasoned with red chili powder, black pepper, turmeric, and a dash of coriander, complemented by fresh ginger, garlic, and onions for a savory kick. Curry leaves and green chilies are tossed in during frying, infusing the beef with their bold, earthy aroma, while a splash of coconut oil adds a subtle coastal note. The quick stir-fry method locks in the flavors, delivering a dish that’s both tender and intensely spiced.

Served hot and garnished with crispy curry leaves and a sprinkle of black pepper, Beef Dry Fry is an ideal starter or side to Kerala red rice, parotta, or even a cold drink. This dish showcases Kerala’s knack for bold, fiery flavors.
