It involves hitting an animal in its forehead with a thick piece of wood or metal block to kill it instantly. Hitting in the head is believed to cut off the brain first so the animal suffers the least pain. This is not a ritual killing. It is non-[[Halal]] meat.<br /> <br /> This method is mostly followed by [[Syrian Malabar Nasrani|Syrian Christians]] of Kerala. Most of Central and Southern Kerala follows this method.<br /> <br /> In general, [[Water Buffalo|water buffalo]] and cattle are killed this way. Animals are first tied by their legs and laid down, then their eyes are covered.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Religion-based diets]]<br /> [[Category:Traditional meat processing]]<br /> [[Category:Saint Thomas Christians]]<br /> [[Category:Kerala society]]</div>
