Papaya Erissery Recipe – Kaplanga Erissery Recipe | Papaya with Roasted Coconut

 Can you believe it’s only 5 days until Thiruonam?

Do you have your Onam shopping and Sadya menu done yet? I still have some to do and also planning to celebrate this Onam with our best friends in their new house. Having so many wonderful friends and people I love in one place, all mingling, chatting, joking, cooking together and having fun, sound exciting Isn’t it?:) Yes me and my little family were looking forward for the day.

Stories apart, I know what some of you may be thinking. Girl, you have posted erissery already. I know I know, but have you tried papaya in erissery form yet? If not, I’d say to you it’s a must try and I can assure you that it is a welcome change in taste and flavor from the usual traditional erissery. Try and let me know how it turned out buddies 🙂

Here is the picture of some papaya from our yard ,back in Kerala.
