Hai friends... Today I am adding a traditional recipe for you..

   Erissery is one of the traditional recipe of Kerala. It is usually made with Pumpkin, Red beans and roasted coconut. This is one of my favourite dish for rice especially in Onam sadya. Here in this special recipe I added chickpea instead of red beans and it is very tasty.
