Erisseri is also a traditional Kerala dish like Olan that is served in any festival or marriage sadya. The preparation is simple and effortless.
Yellow pumpkin can also be substituted with yam or raw banana. The texture of cooked vegetable and cowpeas along with coconut flavor and sauteed shallots is divine with steaming rice.

Olan is an essential dish in any traditional Kerala Sadya and one of the simplest dish anyone can make. The dish is made with very few ingredients and its mild flavor goes well with theeyal and pappadam.
The days we are too bored to cook anything elaborate or want to whip up something quick, this dish comes handy. All we do is cook rice, mix with paruppu podi (dhal powder) and have along with olan, this is our favorite combo, do try!

Thoran (from Kerala cuisine) is similar to poriyal | kaai (Tamilnadu cuisine). Cabbage thoran is easy – packed with coconut flavor side dish that goes good with rice and any south Indian gravy.
