Mythology
I have read one myth about this erissery in Vanitha,Onam edition 2013,When we seasoned erissery with mustard and curry leaves, Maveli will surely visit our house.So after preparing erissery we should get ready 1 sadhya meal in banana leaves separately for Mahabali near the pooja room.So Erissery should prepare at the end of Onam sadhya preparation.
Tips
1.If use some shallots with coconut for grinding,it increases the taste.
2.Use coconut oil for seasoning.
Hope you all try this erissery recipe.This is the way in which i prepare Erissery.In some areas Chena(yam) is used for preparing chena erissery..I know variations are there in each corner of Kerala.So friends,if you have any suggestions for this recipe please let me know.I love to hear from you all.
Happy Onam dear viewers..
