Mathanga Erissery Pumpkin Erissery or  Mathanga  Erissery is Kerala’s one of the traditional dish. Erissery is one of the main dish (koottu curry) for Sadya . Mathanga means yellow pumpkin in Malayalam.

Traditionally, one of the main ingredient in mathanga erissery  is vanpayar (black beans). But for a twist, I am not using payar in this recipe.
