Kalan Kerala Sadya SpecialbyMaya Akhilon April 14, 2010 28 Comments

There are many different varieties of yoghurt based dishes in Kerala like moru curry(seasoned with ginger and garlic) , pulliseri and k

Some varieties of pulliseri are made using fruits, namely mambazha pulliseri, pineapple pulliseri, ripe plantain/ethapazham pullise

Vegetables like winter melon/kumbalanga, vellarikka/yellow cucumber, raw banana/ethakka, tomato and elephant yam/chena are also use

prepare pulliseri. Out of all these varieties, mambazha pulliseri and kalan are my favourites. Kalan is a very popular traditional dish of Kerala

is another important dish of a Kerala sadya. Kalan has a much thicker consistency than pulliseri and uses pepper powder. There are two typ

kalan namely rasa kalan prepared using a variety of vegetables like pumpkin, yam, raw banana, ash gourd, yellow cucumber, chembu, raw m

etc and kurukku kalan which has a semi-solid consistency, usually served in Trissur. In our place kalan for sadya is usually prepared with g

plantains and elephant yam and has a medium consistency. Kalan prepared with sour yoghurt tastes the best. Here is the recipe:
