Beef

Beef is an excellent source of complete protein (about 25-35g per 100g serving), highly bioavailable iron, and essential vitamins like B12 and Zinc. In South India, particularly Kerala, it is famed for dishes like Nadan Beef Curry or Beef Fry. This recipe involves slow-braising tender beef chunks in coconut oil with aromatic spices like curry leaves, fennel seeds, black pepper, and garam masala to create a rich, flavourful, and semi-dry preparation.
