Pumpkin Eriserry Recipe – Kerala Style Mathanga Vanpayar Eriserry

September 1, 2014 by Sharmilee J 4 Comments

Pumpkin Eriserry Recipe

Pumpkin Erissery is a very famous onam sadya recipe. Last week I was listing down onam sadya recipes which I haven’t posted so far and this one was included in the list too.I heard people onam sadya is incomplete with eriserry.The mild sweetness with chunks of pumpkin and the crunch from the black eyed peas….the combo is just too good to resist.Eriserry cane be made with vazhakka(raw plantain) or senaikilangu(elephant yam) too…But I have used this combo of mathanga(pumpkin) and vanpayar(black eyed peas).Adding roasted coconut is something new to me as its not usual in our south indian cooking and I loved the flavour the best.

It is raining kerala recipes for the past 1 week, yes I am trying to wrap up for this onam 2014 so stay tuned for more onam sadya recipes this week 🙂

Pumpkin Eriserry Recipe

My Notes:

  • The consitency whould be semi thick.
  • Mash pumpkin so that its eoughly done, dont overdo…because while cooking it tends to mash by itself.Also you should be able to feel small small pumpkin pieces here and there while eating.
  • Roasted coconut gives a great taste and flavour to the eriserry.
  • The curry is mildy sweet.
  • 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 6-7 whistles.If you are soaking overnight you may require only less whistles so adjust accordingly.
