  8. Even thoug I don't like ethakayya so much, but this is looking very tempting. Sad I don't get it in Africa, though the bannanas here are huge, n I have mistaken them for our ethapayzham.....

Recently I have been making this curry in Instant pot and it comes out perfect each time. Beef Vindaloo is a quintessential dish for Christmas feasts in Kerala. It is popular among Christians and the Anglo-I
