Vanpayar Ularthiyathu | Brown Bean and Shallots Mash

Vanpayar Ularthiyathu | Brown Bean and Shallots Mash

Vanpayar Ularthiyathu is the classic Kerala comfort food. The ‘brown beans’ (red cow peas / red gram / ‘red chawli’) are a brownish version of the ‘green bean’ or whole ‘mung dal’. It also looks similar in shape to the ‘black-eyed bean’, except it’s smaller.

In Kerala, this dish is very often served with rice porridge, where the Kerala ‘Rose Rice’ is used: an indigenous variety of rice grown in Palakkad District of Kerala. It’s a chubbier grain and is found throughout Kerala and parts of Sri Lanka.

The beans are cooked prior to stir-frying with a delicious blend of shallots, garlic, pepper and dried red chilli and then mashed lightly to add a very-yummy-creamy quality.

This vegetarian item may be served with rice or even chapatis, but the classic combo will forever be  Kanji and Payar ( Porridge and Beans). Poppadum’s, pickle and shallot chutney are also often served on the side. ‘Kanji and Payar’ is also often served when you are under the weather or suffering from an upset stomach.
