Pumpkin Erisherry
Today I'm posting a traditional kerala recipe called as ' Erisherry' . Erisherry is one of the mainstay dishes you'd see in a Malayali banana leaf sadya and is essentially a sweet and nutty flavoured side dish you eat with rice. The most common version of erisherry is made with orange pumpkins and red lobias ( cowpeas) . Today I'm making erisherry with toor Dal which is faster to make and is my mother in law's recipe. Toor Dal erisherry is mostly made in trissur and palakkad districts. Cooking time: 20 mins Serves : 6 people Ingredients: Basic: 1. Pumpkin: 250 grams, ripe orange ones are required https://www.dreamstime.com/photos-images/pumpkin-seeds-pulp.html 2. Toor dal: 1 tea cup soaked for at least 1/2 hour 3. turmeric powder: 1/2 teaspoon 4. Red chilly powder: 1 teaspoon Ground paste: 1. Grated coconut: half of a coconut or one tea cup full 2. Jeera / cumin seeds: one small teaspoon 3. Fresh green chillies :4 no's( check t
