Red Chori Sprout Usli (Salad / Sundal / Guggillu)

Usli (Konkani) or Sundal (Tamil) or Guggillu (Telugu) is a bean-lentil salad popular in South India. Different kinds of salads are prepared with different varieties of beans and lentils. Here I made usli with sprouted red chori (red cowpeas or azuki beans). It could be served as a snack or as a side dish with rice. Sprouting of red chori could be done easily in 1-3 days depending on the weather.

Mathanga Vanpayar Erissery (Pumpkin Red Cowpeas in Coconut gravy)

Erissery is a side dish usually served in traditional Kerala sadyas. There are different varieties of erissery made with different combination of vegetables. Pumpkin - red cowpeas erissery is one of my favorites. Pumpkin or any other squash variety could be used for the dish. I used red chori (red cowpeas / azuki beans) here which is smaller than the vanpayar that we get in Kerala.
