Vanpayar mathanga curry recipeVanpayar mathanga curry recipe | vellapayar kulambu recipe with coconut Vanpayar or vellapayar or black eyed beans or cow beans known by different names is one of the important bean variety used very often in many Kerala dishes

Vanpayar mathanga curry recipe is a simple recipe of cooking the bean/vegetable in tamarind and coconut base curry. few of the pulingari recipes like idi chakka pulingari which is raw jack fruit curry and mochai pulungari which is also a bean curry and my favourite pulungari recipes. Check out our Kerala curry videos in our you tube channel.

Vanpayar is so important that on the day of Vishu, it is spread over the plate in front of god and the fruits and vegetables and all the items for vishu kani are kept over this.

I have added drumstick and sweet pumpkin in this Vanpayar mathanga curry recipe which is a very common combination to go along with cow peas. But the other choices are brinjal, white pumpkin and even few add carrots to this curry.

Shallots are added to grind along with coconut to give thickness to the curry and also a unique flavour to the curry. Do not add onions instead. Use only shallots/sambar onions for both grinding and seasoning.
