About Payar curry

Payar Curry, a traditional dish from Kerala, India, is a flavorful curry made primarily with red cowpeas (payar), coconut, and an array of aromatic spices. This hearty dish is a staple in Kerala cuisine and is often enjoyed with steamed rice or flatbreads like chapati. The cowpeas are rich in plant-based protein, fiber, and essential vitamins, making it a nutritious addition to any meal. The dish is cooked with a base of grated coconut, green chilies, turmeric, and curry leaves, which provide both depth of flavor and an abundance of antioxidants. While highly nutritious, the health aspects may vary depending on the use of oil or coconut milk, which can add saturated fats if used in excess. Payar Curry is a wholesome, balanced option for those seeking a comforting yet health-conscious meal rooted in South Indian culinary traditions.
