While Chicken and Mutton are traditional staples, the Beef Manthi has carved a special place in the hearts of food lovers in Kerala. It represents a beautiful cross-cultural exchange—the cooking technique of Yemen meets the robust palate of the Malabar coast.
The Marination
Beef requires a bolder hand with spices. Our chefs have developed a special marinade that includes black pepper, fennel, and a hint of roasted cumin. This deeper, darker spice profile complements the strong flavor of the beef. We allow the meat to rest in this marinade longer than any other meat, ensuring the flavors reach the very center of the cut.
Slow-Roasted Perfection
To ensure our beef is tender, we slow-roast it at a lower temperature for a longer duration. This breaks down the connective tissues, resulting in meat that is surprisingly tender while retaining a satisfying bite. When served atop our fragrant Mandi rice, the contrast between the bold, spicy beef and the subtle, aromatic rice creates a culinary experience that keeps our customers coming back for more.
It is not just a meal; it is a tribute to the evolving culinary landscape of our region.
