Erissery (Erishery) is yet another traditional Kerala Recipe made using ground coconut paste and lastly seasoning with roasted coconut. I've always loved Erissery which my Mother accustomed to prepare every now and then. Mathanga Payaru (Pumpkin and Bean) Erissery was once the most typical one made by my mother. Errisery can be created utilizing a single vegetable or mixture of vegetables. Lentils or Beans can also be put into Erishery.
Mathanga Payaru Erisheri
The most typical kinds of Erissery are created while using following:-
- Mathanga (Pumpkin) and Van Payaru (Red beans)
- Padavalanga (Snake Gourd) and Parippu (Lentils)
- Chena (Yam) and Vazhakka (Raw Plantain)
- Chena (Yam) and VanPayaru (Red beans)
- Kapalanga (Papaya)
For Onam, I made the decision to create Mathanga Payaru Erissery. I couldn’t get Vanpayaru that is typically utilized in the recipe. So, I made use of some Dried Red Beans that we purchased from an Asian Market. I love my Erishery to become thick however, you can transform the consistency by growing water content.
