Ethapazham Erisseri



Ethapazham Erisseri

 Wishing all my friends and readers a very happy and prosperous Onam!

Erisseri is an important dish in Kerala Sadhya. Since it is Onam I thought of sharing this recipe. Erisseri is  mildly spicy curry with one or a combination of  vegetables and lentils. It is  seasoned with roasted coconut, fried curry leaves which adds to its unique flavor and taste to the curry. 
This one is made with ripe and slightly sweet plantain. I brought a batch to make banana chips but the skin turned yellow. So I had to abandon the idea of making chips and made this erisseri instead. It has a slight sweetness like the pumpkin erisseri  is a flavorful and quick dish. Try this for Sadhya,you will surely love it.

Ingredients
Plantains/Ethakka- 3 medium
Black eye beans- 3/4 cup
(or you can use red beans/vanpayar)
Shredded Coconut- 3/4 cup+ 1/2 cup
Turmeric- a pinch
Chilly powder- 3/4 tsp
Jeera/cumin -1/3 tsp
Curry leaves
Coconut oil
Dry red chilly-2
mustard seeds- 1/3 tsp
Salt to taste

 

Soak beans for two hours and pressure cook them and set aside.
Peel off the skin and chop plantain into cubes.Cook with 1/2 cup of water, turmeric, chilly powder and salt.
Note: Use semi ripe plantain. Slightly sweet ones but still firm to touch. If it has become almost ripe try recipes like ethapazham pachadi or  pazham pulisherri
Grind 3/4 cup of shredded coconut  along with cumin  into a paste. Add this to the cooked plantain along with the cooked black eye beans. Allow this to simmer in a medium heat for two- three minutes and switch off the flame.
Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds. When they splutter add two dry red chilly, curry leaves and  1/2 cup of coconut. Roast this is low flame till it gets browned up and add to the curry and mix well. Serve with rice.

Try this
Hope you will all enjoy!

My birthday also comes in December, so it is a double celebration for me :) How is the Christmas planning coming along for everyone? It is exactly three weeks for Christmas and I am planning to share a few recipes for the holidays this year. This is the first one I wanted to share with all of you -Kerala style sweet delicacy- a real nostalgia, the Black Halwa. Halwas has always amazed me with its simplicity, unique texture and taste. It is a gel-like sweet candy that you can never stop eating. When making halwa there is a time-honored cooking technique and halwa making is time-consuming. So people simply prefer to buy it from the shop. But making your own is a rewarding experience. Now many of the traditional sweets are forgotten or get overlooked for fancier ones in bakeries. But that is not the case w
