Erisseri

For the first time I have chosen this special theme in BM. Because this month special theme is with bookmarked recipes from ABC cooking of last month BM. I have book marked some wonderful recipes from last month BM. BM 32 is really wonderful with all those amazing cooks, with all those delicious recipes.

                                                             From that edition I picked some three recipes for this month special theme. This Erisseri is one of them, Erisseri is a Kerala recipe which is served in Onam Sadya. By this time all my BM friends may understand from where I picked this recipe. Yes the one and only Rajani, she explained very clearly how to make sadya recipes and how to arrange them in a traditional Kerala style. Thank you so much for all those wonderful sadya recipes Rajani. I already tried some of them but this erisseri, Iam trying for the first time I think I got the consistency, taste. I used yam for today can also use pumpkin and cow peas, raw banana. Let's check the recipe
