Beef Olathiyathu is a very popular beef dish from kerala. This is my humble effort to recreate the dish as a vegetarian one. Believe me, it tastes a lot like the original, you will be glad you tried it. I have made it very mild so that my little one can also enjoy it. Make this spicy as that is how is it is supposed to be made and eaten. Tastes perfect with Kerala Barota, can be enjoyed with rotis as well.
