Kaalan is a more popular traditional Keralite dish made of yogurt, coconut, and vegetable tuber-like yam and raw plantain. It is served as part of the sadya, the traditional Kerala feast. Kaalan is distinct from all the curd/yogurt-based gravies and it is very easy to make and is the ultimate comfort food with some rice and any spicy vegetable stir fry on the side.
