AVIYAL RECIPE | AVIAL RECIPE

Steps:

• Take coconut, green chili, salt in a mixer jar.
• Grind it to a smooth paste by adding 2 tablespoon of water. Set this aside.
• Take the drumstick, potato, raw banana, chow chow, carrot in a heavy bottomed pan.
• Add turmeric powder and 1 cup of water. Cover and cook the vegetables till they are almost cooked.
• Once the veggies are 90% cooked, add the rest of the vegetables like cucumber, white pumpkin, yellow pumpkin and brinjal. These vegetables are rich in water content and they cook faster. So we need to add it after the stiff vegetables are almost cooked.
• Once all the veggies are cooked and becomes soft, add the ground coconut paste and give a gentle mix.
• Add curd now and give a mix. Finally add coconut oil, curry leaves and mix gently.
• Aviyal is now ready! Relish with Sambar rice / Rasam or Adai!

AVIYAL

Steps:

• Grind coconut, green chillies and cumin seeds to a fine paste. Whisk in yogurt and keep aside.
• Boil all the vegetables with 1 Drumstick (cut into finger sized batons) and curry leaves in 2 cups of water to which salt and turmeric is added. When the vegetables are almost done, add yogurt mixture and boil thoroughly.
• Simmer for about 10 minutes. Lace with coconut oil and serve with rice.
• Tip: If you do not like the smell of raw coconut oil, then just avoid the oil as it is optional. You can also add raw mango to aviyal. If you do so, reduce the yogurt to 1 cup only.
