Leeds, this is not your usual curry pie.
What happens when a Yorkshire pudding meets beef and bone marrow curry?
At Kerala Canteen, we decided to find out.
Our Beef Curry Pie brings beef and bone marrow curry together with a 3-inch Yorkshire pudding, then finishes it with mature cheddar.
It sounds unexpected. That is exactly why we like it.
What Makes the Beef Curry Pie Different?
The idea is simple, but the result is anything but ordinary.
First, there is the Yorkshire pudding. Instead of serving it alongside a roast, we use it as the base for the dish.
Inside comes our beef and bone marrow curry.
Then, mature cheddar goes on top.
Each part is familiar on its own. However, put them together and you get something that feels completely different.
This is not a traditional British pie. At the same time, it is not a standard Indian curry.
Instead, it is a Kerala Canteen take on two very different food traditions.
What’s in the Beef Curry Pie?
There are three key parts to this dish:
- Beef & bone marrow curry – the main filling, bringing depth and richness.
- 3-inch Yorkshire pudding – a familiar Yorkshire favourite used in a new way.
- Mature cheddar – the final layer on top.
The ingredients may sound familiar.
The combination, however, is not.
That contrast is what makes the Beef Curry Pie stand out.
Yorkshire Meets Kerala
Leeds is Yorkshire. So, naturally, the Yorkshire pudding had to make an appearance.
We could have served the beef and bone marrow curry in a bowl. Instead, we put it inside a Yorkshire pudding.
Why?
Because at Kerala Canteen, we are not interested in doing things simply because they have always been done that way.
Our menu brings together modern South Indian tapas, sharing plates and ideas from different food cultures. As a result, familiar dishes can take on a completely different character.
The Beef Curry Pie is a perfect example.
You see a Yorkshire pudding.
Then you discover beef and bone marrow curry inside.
Finally, mature cheddar brings it all together.
Looking for Kerala Beef Curry in Leeds?
If you are searching for Kerala beef curry in Leeds, you may expect a traditional curry served with rice or another familiar side.
This dish takes a different route.
Rather than serving the beef and bone marrow curry on its own, we place it inside a 3-inch Yorkshire pudding.
That means you get the depth of a Kerala-inspired beef curry alongside one of Yorkshire’s best-known comfort foods.
In other words, it is a very different way to enjoy beef curry in Leeds.
Why Kerala Canteen Does Things Differently
There is no shortage of Indian restaurants in Leeds city centre.
For us, simply being another place to eat Indian food is not enough.
We want people to remember what they ate.
Chef Bobby Geetha, a MasterChef UK contestant, created Kerala Canteen as a modern South Indian tapas restaurant. The concept brings together Kerala cooking, British influences and a chef-led approach to dining.
Because of that, the menu does not follow the usual curry house formula.
Instead, it gives familiar flavours a new setting.
The Beef Curry Pie shows exactly what that means.
It takes a food that people across Yorkshire already know. Then, it puts it together with beef and bone marrow curry in a way that you may not have tried before.
Kerala Canteen has also been recognised among the Top 100 Indian Restaurants in the UK and ranked #3 in Yorkshire & Leeds. That recognition adds to the restaurant’s position as a chef-led dining destination in Leeds.
