EriSeri

Traditional Keralite dish.
Tasty curry made with Suran (Yam) and Raw Banana (Vazhaikkai)

Ingredients Needed:
1. Yam (Suran) cut into cubes - 1 cup
2. Raw banana cut into cubes - 1/2 cup
3. Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
4. Hing
5. Salt to taste
6. Pepper Powder - 1 1/2 tsp (according to taste)
7. Water - 1/2 cup

Ingredients for Grinding:
1. Grated Coconut 3 to 4 tablespoons. [Can there be a Keralite dish without Coconut?]
2. Rice flour - 1 tsp

Ingredients for tempering:
1. Mustard Seeds
2. Curry leaves
3. Dried Red Chilli - 1
4. Grated Coconut - 3 tsp. (You can add more, if you like.)
5. Oil 2 tsp (preferably coconut oil)
[Here I used sunflower oil and before removing from stove I added few drops of Coconut oil.]

Method:
1. Wash Suran completely [atleast few times] and boil in 1/2 cup water by adding turmeric and pepper powder.
2. When it is 1/2 cooked add Raw banana pieces, Salt and Hing.
3. When fully cooked, add grinded paste and cook till gravy thickens.
4. Heat oil in kadai temper with mustard seeds, red chilli and curry leaves.
Now goes the grated coconut and fry till colour changes and pour over Curry.
5. Now add the Keralite touch, that is, Add few drops of coconut oil (Optional)


Go Kerala with Eriseri and Variety rice or Sambar rice.

Hello MT,

This is the first time ever i am adding a comment to a blog, howver i am a frequent visitor to your blog. Reading menutoday, vcuisine is a part of my routine. Thanks for your wonderful recipes, i have tried your poran poli, mysore pak, puffs and many more. From not being able to cook at all to be able to scale atleast to a medium well is because of being inspired by you ladies out there. Thanks a ton once again. Please do pass this on to viji if possible coz i can view her blog anymore and dont know how to get to it.

I would love to write in detail abt the recipes i have tried from your blogs, thanks once again for helping this novice. :)

What a surprise to see the same dish here from your own fool proof recipe MT. Very nice. I prepared this last week too. Nothing can beat this taste. Viji

The erisherry looks so good. I love yam. So this makes a really adi-poli curry to go with hot rice.

Only thing I hate about Yam is its Itchiness ... Any idea how to prevent it ?
BTW , nice recipe ...looks nice :)
