Kalan is a spicy, curd-based gravy recipe from Kerala. However, follow these instructions closely and take care not to overheat the dish, as the curds will separate and leave you with quite an unpalatable dish if you cook it on a high flame.

If done right, however, this dish is sure to transport the diner to culinary heaven!

This homely and satiating curry goes perfectly with a bowl of rice . Also do try other South Indian curries like Chettinad Curry or Malabari Curry .
