Malabari parotta is never served with avial in kerala. If you want to serve it with a vegetarian side dish its usually potato curry , green peas curry etc.
Ofcourse, one can serve anything with anything else but that's another topic.

On a side note, Avial in kerala always has coconut in it , I have heard from tamilians that their avial does not have coconut( I could be wrong through). Can someone confirm ?

The contestants were probably given a list of items and were asked to chose what they wanted to cook.
Why did they even club all the 4 states as one ? We have different eating habits and favourites even between south and north of kerala, forget the 4 states.

I am a Palakkad Iyer speaking tamil ... coconut is the main ingredient in avial for us too... but yes, i have seen tamilians from tanjore side, don't use MUCH coconut... One of our neighbour fondly gives us sometimes, but we r so used to coconut in avial that we actually grind some more with curd and blend it...😆... so yes... some tamilians r not much used to coconut...in avial!

Depends on the type of recipe dear... i sometimes use coconut with green chillies for thorans, sometimes coconut , green chillies and curd paste for mor kootan, avial etc... coconut , red chillies and jeera for molakootal/kootu , coconut, mustard seeds and green chillies for pachadi etc... sometimes use the coconut milk... mainly for payasam...😛 so it all depends on the recipe...whether it needs to be grinded dry or wet!

Yeah jyothi, but the quantity we use is more, but some tamilians don't prefer this much, that's what i meant...! Theirs is non-spicy, more of curd and less of coconut... we use more of sour curd, more coconut and good spice ...!
