Erissery is a traditional Kerala dish. It is prepared usually with vegetables like yam, plantain or Pumpkin. It gives this dish all its flavor and aroma.It is made of raw plantains and Yams. Erissery is an authentic dish from Kerala and one of the important dishes prepared for Onam Sadya festival. The pulp of the coconut is ground with a little cumin seed added to it. When the whole thing is properly boiled, a few mustard seeds along with scraped coconut pulp fried in coconut oil, is added in to it to give it flavor.Manthanga Erissery is also made with pumpkin and red oriental beans, the recipe which I will upload within few days.
