Malayalam New Year.....

Today is Vishu - Kerala new year. A new year hearalds for Malayaless......

Our VishuKani.....
 I have blogged about Vishu  here.

But what I will share with you today is the recipe for "Kaalan" - a regular item in a Kerala Sadya. This recipe is courtesy Pheno's grandmom

Ingredients
Yam
Curd (1-2 cups)
To Grind
1/2 Coconut
Green Chills
Jeera - 1-2 tbsp
Rice Flour(1 tbsp)

Tadka
Mustard
Jeera
Curry Leaf
Pepper
Grated Coconut 1-2 tbsp

  1. Pressure cook Yam with salt and slightly Mash it
  2. In the meantime Grind all ingredients under "To Graid" Together.
  3. Add the ground paste to the mashed yam and cook it together for max of 5 mins
  4. Once it cools down, Add curd to this. The purpose od adding curd is to adjust the sourness. So ad the amount of curd accordingly
  5. Mix it well and add the "Tadka"to it
This version of Kaaln is called "Kurukku Kaalan" as its almost thickish Gravy.

    Kalan is a family favourite. I don't make it though, am content to have my MIL serve her delicious version ;)
