A kaalan preparation

Kaalan (Malayalam: കാളന് [kaːɭan]) is a Keralite (south India) dish made of yogurt, coconut and one vegetable like nendran plantain or a tuber like yam.

It is very thick, which distinguishes it from a similar curry known as pulisheri, and more sour than avial.[1][2] For the same reason, the Kaalan can last longer when stored. [2] In many preparations, more of pepper and/or chillies are added to make the Kaalan spicy, in addition to its signature sour taste.

Kaalan is typically served as part of the sadhya.
