Kappa Biriyani is a Kerala speciality unlike any other biriyani on our menu – soft boiled tapioca (kappa) mixed together with a spicy, richly spiced beef masala. Earthy, filling and unmistakably regional, it is a dish southwest Edmonton guests discover at Nitara and keep coming back for.
Despite the name, Kappa Biriyani has no rice at all. Tapioca is boiled until soft, then mixed directly into a spicy beef masala so every piece of kappa soaks up the gravy's heat and flavour.
It is a rustic, homestyle Kerala dish rather than a restaurant showpiece – hearty, filling and a little different from anything else on our menu. Guests who grew up on Kerala home cooking often order it as soon as they see it listed.
If you enjoy Kappa Biriyani, try our Beef Ulathiyathu or Beef Kizhi Porotha – both showcase the same bold Kerala beef flavours. Many guests also pair it with Beef Ulathiyathu or Beef Kizhi Porotha to share across the table.
For a bigger spread, order Kappa Biriyani alongside our Beef Ulathiyathu and a side of rice.
We serve kappa biriyani for dine-in, takeout and delivery from 761 Daniels Way SW, minutes from Chappelle Gardens, Desrochers, Hays Ridge and Heritage Valley Town Centre. Order ahead and we will have it ready hot.
