Aviyal

I am from Ernakulam living in Dubai, a pure Malayali Bhramin. I think nobody can beat our prepartion of 'AVIYAL'.

You can use the following vegetables:

Drumstick (Muringakai)
Chenai (Yam)
Kai (Green Plantain / Raw Plantain)
Carrot
Beans
Achingapayar
Kovakai
Mango (if not using Yogurt)
Vellarikai
Kumbalangai
Kathirikkai / Brinjal
2 - 3 green chilles slit

Cut all the above vegetables into a medium thin strip (similar to our small finger - hope that's more easy way to explain).

Add 1 tspoon of chille powder, 1 tspoon of turmeric powder, salt to taste and boil till the vegetable are done in very
small quantity of water (as most of the vegetables we are using have water in them it is more than enough if we add less
water).

Grind together desired quantity of fresh scrapped coconut (to get the real taste) along with 2 - 4 red chilles and a tspoon
full of cumin seed (no need to grind with water and make a smooth paste).

Now add 2 - 3 spoons of curd or yogurt to the boiled vegetables if not using mango or tamarind, lower the heat let it mix
with the vegetables, then add the ground coconut, mix well, let the vegetables coat nicely with ground coconut, off the
stove / gas, decorate it finally with curry leaves and 1 - 2 spoons of coconut oil.

This is a traditional 'AVIYAL' receipe, hope all will enjoy making and having it. It is also a nutritious and good health
food as it contains almost all vegetables.
