Special Cherupayar Curry
Special Cherupayar Curry is a wholesome and flavorful dish made using green gram (cherupayar) cooked with traditional Kerala spices. The green gram is pressure-cooked until soft and then simmered with a blend of coconut, cumin, garlic, and dry red chilies ground to a fine paste. Tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and shallots fried in coconut oil, this curry brings out a rich aroma and authentic taste. It pairs beautifully with rice, puttu, or chapati, offering a protein-rich, satisfying meal. Simple yet deeply comforting, this curry reflects the rustic charm of Kerala’s homestyle cooking at its best.
