Pulisherry is a classic Kerala yogurt-based curry known for its mildly sour, creamy, and comforting flavor. It is prepared using ripe or semi-ripe fruits like mango or vegetables such as ash gourd, cooked gently and blended with a smooth coconut paste seasoned with cumin and green chillies. The curry is finished with a traditional tempering of mustard seeds, dried red chillies, curry leaves, and coconut oil, which adds a rich aroma and authentic taste. Pulisherry is a key dish in Kerala sadya and pairs beautifully with steamed rice, offering a perfect balance of tanginess and subtle sweetness.
