i have shared quite a few yoghurt and coconut based curries till now in my blog. but this recipe of kerala sadya kurukku kalan is unique compared to others. basically, the recipe is made with locally grown veggies like yam and raw plantain. but the addition of pepper makes it more unique and very flavoured. in addition, the gravy is made thicker and hence can be served as a curry or perhaps as a side to your meal. moreover, the recipe can be easily stored for a minimum of 4-5 days in the refrigerator and yet it remains fresh. but it may thicken as time passes and you may have to add water and bring it to the right consistency.

the kurukku kalan recipe is very easy and simple and easy to make, yet i would like to highlight few tips and suggestions. firstly, while grounding the coconut masala, ground it to fine paste. it has to be coarse and at the same time, it has to be semi-liquid before mixing it with yoghurt like coconut chutney. secondly, the recipe contains both green chilli and also pepper and hence it can be hot and spicy if you are mild to medium spice eaters. hence reduce the quantity of pepper or green chilli according to your taste preferences. lastly, before adding the yoghurt to the curry, do not forget to whisk it thoroughly otherwise it may curdle once it is heated.
