Rasakalan



Rasakalan

Kalan is a very popular Kerala dish served with rice. The recipe today is a unique version called Rasa kalan.Rasa means tasty and as the name suggest it is a tasty kalan. Usually kalan is made with raw plantain and yam and is cooked in a spiced yogurt sauce. But in rasakalan it is a medley of different types of vegetables which brings a wonderful blend of flavors. This is a new recipe to me and when I read about this, I,found it very interesting and tried it for Onam sadhya this year. It was truly wonderful and my family enjoyed.The yogurt sauce is spiced with black pepper or dry red chilly and the tangyness is from yogurt and raw mango. Try this recipe,you will surely love it.

Happy Vishu to all my friends and Readers! How is the Vishu Sadhya planning coming along for everyone? For all my Malayalee friends who are planning to celebrate this joyous festival, I am sharing a guide to preparing an easy  and tasty Sadhya. Vishu celebrations are real nostalgia, the fully blossomed Kani Konna trees (Cassia fistula), Vishu Kani, new clothes, and Sadhya. Vishu Kani is beautifully arranged the night before, and the sight you see on the morning of the New year brings luck throughout the year. Vishu celebration is not complete without the traditional vegetarian feast- Sadhya. It is served on a banana leaf, and there is a colorful array of vegetarian curries, rice, and desserts.

Mambazham Pulissery/Mango and Spiced Yogurt Curry

Mambazha Pulissery/Mango and Spiced Yogurt Curry Mambazham/ Mango Pulisherri is a sweet and spicy curry made with ripe sweet mangoes. It is an old-fashioned recipe still made and served in many homes in Kerala. Whenever I get ripe mangoes, I cannot resist making mambazham pulisherri. It is absolute comfort food and goes well with steamed rice. Cooked mangoes are mixed with cumin flavored yogurt to make this delicious curry. There is a beautiful balance between the sweetness of mangoes and the sourness of spiced yogurt. The heat is from the green chilies and red chili powder and the earthiness from turmeric, fenugreek seeds, and cumin. Does it sound simple? And yes, it is a simple curry. If you are on a time crunch, this is a perfect recipe for you. Pulisheri is the most common yogurt-based dish in Kerala cuisine. Pulisheri is made both with vegetables and fruits.  Ripe sweet mangoes make delicious curries like pulisherri, pachadi, or manga curry with coconut paste. Freshl...
