'''Kaalan''' ({{lang-ml|കാളൻ}} {{IPA-ml|kaːɭan|}}) is a [[Keralite]] dish from [[South India]], made of [[yogurt|yoghurt]], [[coconut]] and a raw fruit [[Cooking banana|nendra kaaya]] or a tuber like the [[Yam (vegetable)|chena]].<br />
<br />
It is very thick, which distinguishes it from a similar curry known as pulisseri, and more sour than [[avial]].<ref>[http://www.kothiyavunu.com/2009/07/kalan-kaalan-recipe-kerala-sadya-recipe.html Kalan preparation]</ref><ref name="Indianexpress">{{cite web|url=http://indianexpress.com/article/lifestyle/food-wine/onam-special-heres-what-a-traditional-onam-sadhya-consists-of-3028642/ |title=Onam special: Here’s what a traditional Onam sadhya consists of |publisher=The Indian Express|date=2016-09-13 |access-date=2016-09-13}}</ref> For the same reason, kaalan can last longer when stored. <ref name="Indianexpress"/> In many preparations, more pepper and/or chillies are added to make the kaalan spicy, in addition to its signature sour taste.<br />
<br />
Kaalan is typically served as part of the [[Sadya]].<br />
