Pumpkin Erissery Recipe / Mathanga Erissery with stepwise pics and a short YouTube video. If you like my video, please SUBSCRIBE to my youtube channel. Mathanga Erissery is a special dish prepared on the day of Onam, it tastes mildly sweet with an amazing flavor of coconut oil. Mathanga means Pumpkin in English, Parangikai in Tamil and it is also called as Elisseri in some parts of Kerala. I used yellow pumpkin with cowpeas, but it can be replaced with yam, raw banana, raw papaya with toor dal, green gram, and red beans also. It is also a vegan and gluten-free dish. I paired this erissery with other items and prepared like a mini Sadhya Lunch with Rice, Kerala Sambar, Aviyal, Beans Mezhukupuratti, Tomato Rasam, Wheat Payasam, Nendran Chips and enjoyed a lot.
