Erissery is one of the popular stew made in Kerala, especially for the Sadya. There are few different variations in making Erissery. This recipe is something that is commonly followed in our house and in Nagercoil, Kanyakumari District (Nanjil Nadu). For Malabar Erissery, we usually use Raw Banana or Senai Kizhangu (Yam). This is good for health and liked by all ages.

Erissery is one of the popular stew in Kerala. It’s a stew usually made using Mathanga (Pumpkin) or  Senai Kizhangu (Yam) with coconut paste and pepper.  The Erissery made in Nagercoil and in Kanyakumari District (Nanjil Nadu) are slightly different from traditional Kerala Erissery.  Nanjil Nadu is the town surrounding Kanyakumari District which was part of Travancore state before Independence. Later this was added as part of Tamil Nadu. The cooking style in Nanjil Nadu resembles the Kerala cuisine but with slight variations. This Erissery recipe given below is one such recipe

Erisseri in Kanyakumari District is usually made using Raw Banana or Yam (Senai Kizhangu). We can also make this using Yellow Pumpkin. No other vegetables are suitable to make Erisseri.  The vegetable is cooked with freshly ground pepper powder, coconut paste and finally seasoned with roasted coconut. The Erisseri will have a wonderful flavor of coconut and pepper.

In this recipe I have used Raw Banana. You can also use Yam (Senai Kizhangu)

Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 300 grams Chenai (Yam) (or) 3 Raw Banana
  • 1 pinch Turmeric Powder
  • 1 pinch Asafoetida (Asafetida / Hing)
  • 1½ tsp Salt (adjust to your taste)
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil

For the Masala Paste

  • 1 tsp Oil preferably coconut oil
  • 1 nos Red Chili
  • ½ cup Grated Coconut
  • ½ tsp Peppercorns

For Tempering

  • 1 tsp Mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp Oil preferably coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp Grated Coconut
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 1 sprig Curry leaves
  • 1 tsp Split Urad Dal

Instructions 

Preparation

  • Clean the vegetable (Senai Kizhangu or Raw Banana), peel the skin and chop into smaller pieces and keep it aside. Immerse the chopped vegetables in the water to prevent decolorization.

Preparation of spice powder

  • Pour the oil in the pan. When the oil is hot, add pepper and fry them till you get the flavor of the pepper. Add Red Chili in the same pan and fry it till the color of the chili slightly change. We can fry peper and red chili together, but chili get burnt quickly hence doing it one after another
  • Take the fried pepper and red chili to the mixer and grind it to powder

Cooking the vegetable

  • Add water (approximate 1 cup of water) in a heavy bottom pan and heat it.
  • When the water starts to boil add the vegetable, spice powder (ground pepper + red chili), pinch of turmeric, hing and salt. Adjust the water to ensure that the vegetables are completely immersed. Don’t add too much water otherwise the stew becomes watery.
  • Cover the pan and let the vegetable completely cook. Check the water level in frequent intervals and add more water if required to ensure that the vegetables don't get burnt.

Making of the fresh coconut masala paste

  • Take the coconut in a mixer along with 2-3 tbsp of water and grind it to a fine paste. We need thick coconut paste hence ensure that don't add too much of water while grinding

Making of Erissery

  • Add the ground paste to the cooked vegetable and allow the mixture to boil

Tempering

  • In a seperate pan add a teaspoon of oil (preferably coconut oil). Once the oil is hot, add the grated coconut (2 tbsp) and fry them in a low-medium flame till you get nice aroma of coconut / color of the coconut slightly change (light brown color). Add the fried coconut to Erissery
  • In the same pan, add 1/2 tsp of oil and add the mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds start to sputter add the urad dal, cumin seeds and finally the curry leaves. Mix them well and add this tempering to the Erissery
  • Finally add 1 tbsp of coconut oil in Erissery and mix it well. The hot, tasty and flavorful Erissery is ready to serve.

Notes

  1. You can avoid the red chili and instead add additional 1/2 tsp of pepper. 
  2. You can also add the Jeera (Cumin Seeds) along with coconut and grind it to a paste.
  3. The vegetables (Raw Banana / Senai Kizhangu) can be cooked in a pressure cooker as well over 1-2 whistles.
