Kaalan is a traditional Kerala vegetarian preparation using curd,coconut and vegetables like raw plantain and yam. It’s a grand mom’s recipe which is passed on from generations.Kaalan is different from Avial due to the choice of veggies used . It is more sour than Avial too. Kaalan is thick in consistency .
