Naadan erachi ularthiyathu

Between the busy office schedule and work at home, I am not able to post recipes as often as I want to.But life seems to be much more settled as I completes two months in the new office and hoping to give more time for blogging in another two months when I learn all the jobs assigned in my office.Perhaps now I give more priority to my little son who waits impatiently for me to come back from the office everyday to spend time with him.He doesn’t even allow me to read newspaper and does everything he could do to seek attention. But I am enjoying the role of mother and realise that these times never come back in life.

Moving to the post of the week, Erachi ularthiyathu is kerala style beef roast that is fingerlickingly delicious. Try this recipe and do tell how it turned out for you as well…..
