Details and Ingredients

Beef Biriyani is a Kerala-style triumph where succulent beef is marinated in a mix of yogurt, ginger, garlic, and spices, then layered with fragrant Kaima rice. The rice is perfumed with saffron, ghee, and whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and star anise, creating a warm, inviting aroma. The beef is slow-cooked with onions, tomatoes, green chilies, and a blend of turmeric, coriander, red chili powder, and black pepper, while fresh mint and curry leaves add a Kerala twist. A touch of coconut oil enhances the coastal flavor. Prepared using the dum method, the rice and beef meld into a rich, flavorful harmony.

Served hot and garnished with fried onions, cashews, and raisins, Beef Biriyani pairs wonderfully with raita, pickle, or a boiled egg. This dish is a bold testament to Kerala’s spiced rice legacy.
