One of my version of Pumpkin erissery without dal is a super quick and easy method of making it. But with dal it tastes totally different and traditional recipe includes the dal in it.

This version of mathan erissery is without grinding coconut.
The reason we skip grinding coconut is it increases in volume and when cooking for just couple of people at home, it is better to skip grinding coconut. This is the version of erissery mostly followed at my home. We grind coconut and add only when during festival days or when we have guests at home. Otherwise we follow this simple recipe.
