Olan is a delicious dish made by ash gourd and red beans splashed with a generous amount of hand-pressed, authentic coconut milk. This really enhances the overall feel of the Sadya. Here is how to make it.
Ingredients
Coconut oil: 2-3 tsp
curry leaves: 7-8
green chilies: 3-4
ash gourd: 300 grams
black-eyed pea
coconut milk: 1 cup
salt: as needed
Cook the black-eyed pea with 1.5 cups of water for 2-3 whistles(in a pressure cooker). Remove from heat and wait for the pressure to settle naturally. Strain the black-eyed pea and set aside.
Heat coconut oil in a pan and add in the curry leaves and slit green chilies.
Clean and dice the ash gourd. Add this to a pan, then add a cup of second pressed coconut milk. Add salt. Allow it to simmer for 10 minutes.
Add in the boiled and drained black-eyed pea.
Add in half a cup of first pressed coconut milk. After adding the milk, simmer for just a minute.
Your delicious Olan is ready
