She told its Vanpayar Erissery. Eriserry is one of the traditional recipe from Kerala. After that I asked about this recipe from one of my friend from Kerala
When the Ash gourd is cooked well add the Red beans/vanpayar in it and mix well. It is made with Ash gourd/Elavan and Red beans,flavored with coconut milk,coconut oil and curry leaves
I'm sure it's a staple in most Kerala homes. Though am not a rice person, I find it hard to resist rice with payar thoran (be it cherupayar or vanpayar) and kachimoru
For me, a comfort lunch menu would be red (Kerala) rice with any moru curry or moru kachiayathu, with Vanpayar thoran, little Pavakka (Bitter Gourd) fry, fish or meat in any form and some pickle
Mathan Erissery | Mathan Vanpayar Erissery. I miss my mom's soul filling comfort food, the elaborate sadhyas of Kerala, the heavy biriyani & meen curry of Deeps' aunt
For cooking Vanpayar and vegetables for olan,kalan and erissery, i again used my big cooker and cooked them together by keeping one above the other in small bowls and plates

Though we all love Kerala dishes and make some of them regularly as the Avial etc, few traditional dishes like the Olan, Kootu Curry were never made before
