Beef Satkara (Sylheti: ꠢꠣꠔꠇꠞꠣꠞ ꠍꠣꠟꠝ; Bengali: সাতকড়া দিয়া গরুর গোশ্ত) is a part of Bengali cuisine consisting of rice, satkara citrus, and beef curry.[2] Whilst having its origins in the Sylhet Division of Bangladesh,[3] the dish has now gained popularity across the country and among the British Bangladeshi diaspora in the United Kingdom.[4][5] At the time of Eid-ul-Adha, it is a famous dish.[6][7] The presence of a citrus fruit makes the dish unique among Bangladeshi curries in terms of taste and aroma.[8] A soupy variant of the dish is made with the bones of cow feet, and in other variants, the beef is sometimes replaced with fish or other meats.[9][10][11][12]
