Beef & Vazakka Olathiyathu

This is again a typical Kerala recipe and I love it because its hot and spicy. My mother always used to prepare it and in a similar way she used to prepare beef and tapioca also. Unfortunately here we don’t get good tapioca. I am just waiting to have it when I go to native.
