As onam is coming soon,so thought of covering some of the items which are prepared during onam. Onam is the festival celebrated in Kerala. The feast which is known as onam sadhya is served on plantain leaves and consists of about 26 dishes,can you imagine that?, okay am learning few of its dishes and hoping to learn many more! So here I present one of the onam dishes Errisery! Here goes the recipe.
