Main Procedure
Step 1
Peel and dice raw banana and yam into small cubes. Boil them with a pinch of turmeric until tender but firm.
Step 2
Grind grated coconut with green chillies and cumin seeds into a smooth paste using a little water.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix the yoghurt and coconut paste. Stir well to form a smooth mixture.
Step 4
Add the boiled vegetables to a pan, pour in the yoghurt-coconut mixture, and cook on low heat. Stir continuously to avoid curdling.
Step 5
Sprinkle turmeric and salt. Heat for 5–7 minutes until the Kaalan thickens to a creamy consistency.
Step 6
Drizzle coconut oil and add fresh curry leaves just before removing from heat. Serve hot as part of Onam Sadya.
