Eriseri is a popular dish in Kerala and is made with various combinations of vegetables and pulses. It forms an important part of the “Sadya” meal that is served on special occasions such as weddings, birthdays, and the arrival of a new baby.

You can use any vegetables here and adjust the quantity of peppercorns to suit your taste. You can also use some red chiles in addition to the peppercorns.
