  8. Hi, I reached your page while looking for Beef Fry as I enjoyed it on recent my trip to Kerala. Then I found your Beef Roast recipe. They are quite similar. What is the difference between "fry" and "roast" in this case? How the food should turned out to be at "roast" and "fry"?

    I tried your beef fry recipe and it was good to remind me of the street corner of Fort Cochin.

    I would appreciate if you could help me. Thank you!
