Aviyal
Making aviyal always had
been a dream for me. It’s my fav dish in malayalee foods..
My mom is a gud cook.. still best aviyal i ever had was made
by my meternal aunty ( aanada peramma) she’s the besssssssssssssssssst cook..
of mallu foods..
This aviyal i prepared with guidance from my mom..
Wat we need..
·
Vegetables like Snakegurad, Cucumber Sooran-elephant foot Yam, Carrot, Beans..
(Actually a lot of vegetable can be used..
so vegetables of ur choice can go it..)-3 cups
·
Coconut grated( health conscious people can use
less of this and insted can smash few cooked vegetables..)- 1/2 cup
·
Shallots.. important as its something gives u
the taste- 8-10 medium size
·
Green chillies depends on ur taste--6-7
·
Salt—as per ur taste
·
Chilli powder- one tea spoon
·
turmeric powder- i take it as per my color
requirement-1/2 tea spoon
·
Tamrind juice- ½ cup as per taste( this is
something i always goof up with.. once u add more tamrind sugar can balance but
it’ll spoil the whole dish)
·
Coconut oil -- one tea spoon will be enough
·
Jeera/cumin seeds – one tea spoon
Curry leaves- 2-3 strands.. only for the flavor.. anyways we'll throw it out.. at least i do :P

How we make it:
Put chopped vegetables, turmeric powder and chilli powder in
a vessel and cook well (avoid cooker as chances of over cooking is there)
Put half of the grated coconut and jeera into mixi and grind
it a little add shallots and green chillies and again grind it.. ( we are not
making chatni or jucie so don’t grind too much)
Add the rest half of grated coconut to the grinded
mixture.. put the whole mixture into the
already cooked vegetables
Once the gravy is cooked add tamrind juice and curry leaves
Once the whole thing is mixed and cooked well add coconut
oil( actually u can switch off the flame)
PS:
don’t stir the aviyal as coffee or sambar.. take care that
the vegetables don’t get smashed else u’ll be serving a aviyal chammadi :P
With my experience please don’t refer my measure(or anyone’s)
of masalas and coconut as the amount of
vegetables will decide how much of wat should be added.. only u can make wat u
want :P
