The classic Kerala vegan delight - Kaalan.
Hi, I'm Anjali. Though I wish to cater to all kinds of palates, you’ll mainly find the Indian cuisine here, especially Malabari (North Kerala) style, as that’s where my roots, trunk and branches are.

Serves 4-5 people. Kalan is also prepared by substituting elavan (Ash gourd) with raw Nendran banana or with Chena (Yam). Each gives a different tasting kaalan.
