Kalan recipe

Kalan recipe with step-by-step photographs. Kalan is a sour-tasting gravy made with curd or buttermilk and veggies like yam and plantain. Floor coconut can also be added which balances the bitter style of the curd.
This recipe is from the Kerala delicacies and is served within the onam sadya.
I make kalan on events. Generally I simply add yam and at instances each yam and plantain. After I put together kalan, I additionally put together a dry sautéed or stir-fried veggie dish like ash gourd thoran or beetroot thoran to go as an accompaniment. You'll be able to serve some papaddums and ginger pickle or lemon pickle as a facet accompaniment.
Kalan is likely one of the dishes that's served within the onam sadya meal. Since onam is across the nook, considered sharing the recipe.
Kalan is greatest to serve with steamed white rice or Kerala matta rice.
