Ingredients:
Black eye beans (Cow peas )- 1 Cup(soaked overnight and pressure cook it with salt and water)
Ash Gourd – 2 Cup (cut into 1/2 inch cube)
Green Chillies – 4
Coconut Milk – 3/4 Cup
Soya Milk – 3/4 Cup
Cumin / Jeera powder – 1/2 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Coconut oil – 2 teaspoon
Mustard seeds – 1/4 teaspoon
A few curry leaves
Red chillies – 2 (break it into 1 inch pieces. Adjust to your taste)
Cook black eye peas and keep it aside. If there is little water it’s fine don’t strain the water
Add the cubed Ash gourd, slit green chillies, cumin powder and a little bit salt (since we already added salt with black eye beans add whatever required for the vegetable only) into a pan with 1 cup water and let it cook on a low fire until soft. You can close the lid while cooking but make sure it is not overcooked. If cooking in pressure cooker, cook till one whistle.
Heat oil and add mustard seeds and let it pop. Then add red chillies fry for another 30 sec.
Add cooked beans and soya milk to the cooked Ash gourd pieces. Let it cook for another 2 mins ( don’t close the lid) make sure you u adjust the water level to make it to right consistency
Add the coconut milk, adjust salt and heat through for not more than 2 mins. Remove from fire.
Enjoy hot with rice or Quinoa

Nice and flavour full…
Your version of olan looks delicious. Traditionally olan doesn't have any seasoning as well as it is cooked only with green chili and no other spices.
