Now, it&#8217;s obvious that pulissery can be made with so many ingredients. My most favorite among these is Mango pulissery, the sweetness from the ripe mangoes and the sourness from the yogurt makes this pulissery finger licking delicious.<\/p>\n<p>Pulissery is a popular Kerala vegetarian side dish that&#8217;s served with rice. It&#8217;s also one of the dishes served in Sadya. For making pulissery, first the main veggie or fruit that&#8217;s being used is cooked, grated coconut along with some spices are crushed together and added to the cooked veggies. Towards the end of cooking, yogurt is added which gives the sourness to this dish.<\/p>\n<p>As much a I love non-veg Kerala dishes, I adore veggie dishes as well. There are a variety of veggie dishes in Kerala cuisine and I love most of them. I don&#8217;t make Kerala veggie dishes that often, but on the days I make them I eat till I drop. Last weekend, I&#8217;d made a Kerala veggie platter: Tomato pulissery, Tindora or Kovakka Thoran, Spicy potato fry and brown rice. I was so excited and when I started eating each of these dishes, I felt a real comfort in my mouth. Yes, Kerala dishes are so humble and comforting.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Simple Vegetarian Platter<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17437\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/kerala-veggie-platter.jpg\" alt=\"kerala veggie platter\" width=\"475\" height=\"713\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/kerala-veggie-platter.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/kerala-veggie-platter-133x200.jpg 133w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Sharing the recipe for making a very simple and comforting Tomato Puliserry, pour this over rice and add a splash of pickle, combine well and enjoy it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17423\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tomato-pulissery.jpg\" alt=\"tomato pulissery\" width=\"475\" height=\"317\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tomato-pulissery.jpg 475w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tomato-pulissery-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tomato-pulissery-84x55.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preparation Pictures<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-17421 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/easy-tomato-pulissery-recipe-tomato-in-coconut-and-yogurt-gravy\/making-tomato-pulissery-2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/making-tomato-pulissery1-475x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-17425\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-17425'>\n\t\t\t\tAfter adding coconut\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/easy-tomato-pulissery-recipe-tomato-in-coconut-and-yogurt-gravy\/making-tomato-pulissery\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"475\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/making-tomato-pulissery-475x200.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-17424\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-17424'>\n\t\t\t\tAfter adding Yogurt\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"easyrecipe mceNonEditable\" data-rating=\"0\"> \t<link itemprop=\"image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thasneen.com\/cooking\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/tomato-in-coconut-yogurt-gravy.jpg\" \/>\n<div class=\"item ERName\">Easy Tomato Pulissery Recipe &#8211;
