Erachi Choru Recipe – Kerala Meat ‘N’ Rice
Erachi Choru or Kerala Style Meat with Rice is an easier take on Biryani. Some might call it a Beef or Mutton Biryani. However, there is no layering and the raw rice is stirred in with the cooked meat and then everything is simmered together till the rice is fluffy. An easy one-pot meal, that is no less appealing than a laborious Biryani.
Very easy to make. Heartwarming and full of flavor, my husband loves this. Try this recipe precisely as laid out, and you will get delicious results!

Thank you Riya, Happy your family liked it. Yes it is one of the easiest rice preps, which I love. 🙂
Could you please tell me the water proportion based on rice quantity and also this is for how many persons pls reply
Hi Smitha, As mentioned in the pre-detail, this recipe serves 4- 6 people. 6 people usually.
1 1/2 cups water per cup of rice, but this will change slightly if you are making smaller proportions.
Hi Shana thank you so much for the quick reply as u meantioned 4 cups of rice means 1 kg rice correct ?? For that 1 kg meat will be enough noo pls reply it’s for a small party at home
hi, For 4 cups of rice , is the water content 3/4 litre or 1&3/4ltr?
pl clarify
It is 3/4 cup water – for the rice which is cooked along with the masala. We say approximately because when the meat is cooked and added to the masala, the amount of liquid in this may vary. If it is very dry – add a bit more than 3/4 litre, but usually this won’t be required.
Wowwowow….just tried it for Easter, it’s different…nice and smooth. We did more meat, that was good too..!!!
Thank you.. Hope you had a wonderful blessed Easter !!
Followed it step by step….the result was amazing…..thanks a lot
