Olan - Kerala Cuisine
Another favorite kerala dish of mine is olan.I think this would be the most easiest and the simple recipe for any kerala dish.Mom used to always prepare kalan and olan together .That would always be the combination.The only aroma and taste that lifts this dish is the coconut oil.
It taste awesome and i wanted to share this recipe with you.
Raw Materials Required
Red Chori Beans -1 cups
White pumpkin -1/2 cup
Yellow pumpkin -1/2 cup
Green chillies 2-3 slit in between
Coconut oil -4-5 tsp
Curry leaves (few)
Oil -1 tsp
Salt as per desired
Preparation Style
Wash and soak the beans overnight. Cut the white and yellow pumpkin and transfer them in a bowl.Add the beans along with the vegetables , slit the green chillies and pressure cook them together. Do not add more water ,just add enough for them to cook. Once the pressure calms down take the cooked veggie and keep it aside. On the other side in a small kadai add coconut oil and curry leaves and let the aroma come up and then add the cooked vegges , add salt and mix them well and let it be in the flame for a couple of minutes. Serve them hot with rice.

I always used red chori in a tamarind based gravy only. I heard about olan but never tried it. your picture and recipe looks good.
Hi
The Olan recipe misses the most important ingredient of it! The coconut milk. you have to add 1-2 cups of it and that makes the typical taste of Olan. Otherwise how do you get the taste and flavour of olan??
