Erissery is a dish from the Kerala cuisine, and this is my version of the dish.The toughest part is to title a dish

when its your version of the recipe.As I had a dish like this from one of the Kerala restaurants,decided to extract

the title from the same cuisine, after all clouded confusions.

Now…moving to today’s recipe-This is made with only raw bananas, no mixture of any other vegetables as they

usually do in preparing the authentic erisserry.With roasted ground coconut and the mixture of dry mango

powder makes it special when served with seafood meals.Raw banana is widely used in Kerala cuisines.

Chips,fries,sweets and vegetable side dishes like Avial and erissery….are some of the dishes made with this vegetable,

hence this vegetable is unavoidable in Keralite cuisines.

A brief note on health benefits -People with weak digestive system should have this in limited quantities,as it may

cause bloating and indigestion!

Positive fact, is that it is a fibre rich food good for diabetics,and heart patients.Rich in VitaminC and other nutrients

which contains antioxidants,and strengthen the immune system.
