Idiyirachi is one of those Kerala foods that exists quietly in the background of childhood memories. The kind of thing that appeared on the table without ceremony, shredded, slightly chewy, intensely flavoured and disappeared just as quickly. It was never the centrepiece. It was the thing that made everything else better.
Making it the traditional way takes time. The meat is cooked, pulled apart by hand, and then laid out to dry under the sun until the moisture is gone and what remains is concentrated, shelf-stable, and ready whenever you are. Neetha does it exactly this way buffalo meat, sun-dried and shredded, nothing added, nothing taken away. Just the meat in its most honest form, prepared in small batches and packed carefully so the texture holds and the flavour stays true.
