Detailed blog post: https://rakskitchen.net/olan-recipe
Olan is a Kerala dish (stew) prepared with coconut milk as base, ash gourd (kumbalanga) and red cow peas (vanpayar) as main ingredients. This is a simple recipe with minimal ingredients, yet so flavourful

Ingredients
2 cups Ash gourd White pumpkin, cubed
¼ cup Brown cowpeas Vanpayar
½ cup Coconut milk Readymade
1 Green chilli slit
1 sprig Curry leaves
1 tbsp Coconut oil Virgin
Salt
Instructions
Wash firstly and soak red cowpeas (vanpayar) overnight.
Next day, drain the water, wash and keep aside.
Then, peel the skin of ash gourd, without any green part. Remove the soft center pith too.
After that, cut into cubes or if you like it thin slice, you can cut into thin slices too.
Then take a small pressure cooker and add the chopped ash gourd in it. Add soaked, drained red cow peas to it.
After that add few curry leaves, salt and then top it with 1 cup of thin coconut milk. I used readymade coconut milk, so it was very rich. I used 1/4 cup of it and 3/4 cup of water.
Pressure cook for just one or two whistles.
Once pressure is released naturally, open and add the thick coconut milk.
Add coconut oil and few more curry leaves and just heat for a minute.
Switch off the stove and Kerala olan is ready to serve!
Notes
You can cook the bean separately and ash gourd separately for whiter looks.
