15 Easy-To-Cook Kerala Vishu Sadhya Recipes

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.

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...
