This is an important dish in traditional sadya. It is a yogurt based curry with thick consistency and the yogurt must be sour. Raw plantain and yam are the vegetables used here. Because of its thick consistency it is also called ‘Kurukku Kalan‘. Today is November 1st and it is the day in which Kerala state was created. It is ‘Kerala Piravi‘ marks the birth of Kerala state and today is its 60th birthday. So it would be better to post a traditional dish today.
