Flat Iron Beef & Bone Marrow Curry: A Kerala Village Classic Brought to Leeds
If you’re searching for the best Indian restaurant in Leeds for authentic, soul-warming dishes, Kerala Canteen just added a showstopper to the menu: Flat Iron Beef & Bone Marrow Curry – a hearty, spice-laden curry inspired by Kerala’s legendary toddy shops and reimagined with Yorkshire-sourced ingredients.
What Makes This Dish Special?
This is not your average curry. This is a heritage recipe from the toddy shops of interior Kerala – village eateries known for their rustic, slow-cooked meat curries served with fresh flatbreads or rice.
At Kerala Canteen, our chefs have recreated this experience using:
- lat iron beef – known for its deep flavour and tenderness when slow cooked
- Bone marrow – gently melted into the curry for richness
- Traditional Kerala spices – ginger, curry leaves, fennel, black pepper and garam masala
- Chef Abdullkhader’s house-ground masala – inspired by his time in Kozhikode and Dubai
- A finishing touch from MasterChef UK’s Bobby Geetha – balancing authenticity and finesse
