Traditional Beef Fry

Who doesnt like some hot beef fry with warm chappathis or warm rice! Beef fry can be made in different ways but there is nothing like the traditional kerala spicy beef fry. I would say that it is the tastiest of all beef recipes. The clear medley of all the spices creates sweet symphonies in our pallette which is worth all the efforts needed to bring it together.
