Chena Vanpayar Eriserry Eriserry Recipe

Chena Vanpayar Eriserry is  one of the popular eriserry recipes which is included in Onam Sadya.Usually I don’t like veggies when combined with other veggies but Kerala dishes changed my taste I should say, now I have started liking combination veggies more 🙂  Yam Red Cowpeas is one awesome combination that I have tried in the recent days.I have already posted pumpkin erissery with cowpeas now this is another variation.

My Notes:

  • The consitency whould be semi thick.
  • Mash yam that its roughly done, dont overdo…because while cooking it tends to mash by itself.Also you should be able to feel small small pieces here and there while eating.
  • Roasted coconut gives a great taste and flavour to the eriserry.
  • Coconut paste should not be very fine and should not be watery.
  •  You can also make erissery with kaya (raw banana), chena (elephant yam) etc.
  •  Black Eyed Peas is Thattapyir(Cowpeas).I usually dont soak overnight, just pressure cook for 4-5 whistles.If you are soaking overnight you may require only less whistles so adjust accordingly.
