It is very thick, which distinguishes it from a similar curry known as pulisheri, and more sour than avial. For the same reason, the Kaalan can last longer when stored. In many preparations, more of pepper and/or chillies are added to make the Kaalan spicy, in addition to its signature sour taste.

Kaalan is typically served as part of the sadhya.
