Aristocratic nair tradition in malabar is that they are not supposed to eat beef. Since time moved on, there happpened to be less count in non beef eating nairs and started to cook at home as well. But, some families still stand up for their rich so called traditions and beliefs. No offence but i was born in that kind of family. (Hey i heard you! We donot eat red meat but that doesn’t mean we are sanghi).

When i said “amma i wanna try beef” she replied “i cant believe you actually came out of my womb!”. Supprisingly sometimes i feel the same too, so i just kept my mouth shut.

My worst fear is that when someone brings me nice, tender and juicy beef and i want to eat all at a glance but can’t because my brain blinks poor little cows of my neighbourhood and how much i loved them. Oh! Fuck memories! All i do is just stare others eat and how they enjoy it. Beef! Oru vikaram! Why in the name of god i am not getting that vikaram?!

After series of brainwash and advices i decided to do it(it took several months or maybe years). All i had to do is start from good source. Since beef is not allowed in my home ( i repeat that we are not sanghis) obiviously i had to go out. I picked up one epic beef apetite which everybody said heavenly. Yeah beef roast and porotta. Next was picking up the perfect restaurant to start and it was difficult to decide from the food capital calicut. But i have to pick one and i did go for famous ikkayees restaurant. I ordered beef roast and pathiri( since porotta was not available at that time). Oh God! I realised how dry was my life without beef… that sad truth made me shout “eeshwaraaa!”

My tastebuds were reprised by the flavour of meat, slowly cooked in pepper and coconut oil with bites of coconut. The cook has done it in best way that the meat just melts inside my mouth and with all those flavours it took those meat to vere level. Yes! Beef adhoru vikaramanu!
