Kerala Olan Recipe – Kerala Sadya Recipe

Revisiting old favorite recipe with new pictures!

Kerala Olan recipe

It has been a lot of fun to go through my archives. I have 412 recipes at this point, some of the recipes that I made years ago were really good, but the pictures are not appealing, that I think deserve a second look! Oh yeah!  definitely my pictures have improved, but are no where near where some of you are! I still have a long ways to go with my photography…
 
So without further ado, onto the recipe…Olan is the simplest, traditional dish of Kerala (South India) which is enriched with coconut milk. Any Sadya traditional Kerala feast is complete without olan on the menu. Ash gourds and cowpeas, flavoured with coconut milk,coconut oil and fresh curry leaves. This is a less spicy dish so everyone including children enjoys it. So why not try out this recipe? …don’t forget to give me a feedback though!
