Description
Beef Masala is a deeply flavorful South Indian dish popular in Kerala and parts of Tamil Nadu, known for its slow-cooked tenderness and robust spice profile. Traditionally prepared by Christian and Muslim communities in Kerala, the dish features chunks of beef simmered in a masala base made from roasted coconut, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon, and curry leaves.
The cooking method often includes pressure cooking the beef for softness, followed by sautéing it in a thick, spiced gravy that clings to each piece. The unique use of coconut oil, shallots, and garam masala gives the dish a distinct aroma and depth, making it ideal for pairing with Kerala parotta, appam, or rice.
Beef Masala remains a festive and homestyle favorite, especially in regions like Kottayam, Thrissur, and Palakkad, and continues to be cherished by South Indian communities in places like Edmonton, Hamilton, and Regina.
