preparation Method of Aviyal - Real Taste of Kerala Recipe |
1)Cut all the vegetables lengthwise of 1/2 inch thickness. 2)Cook vegetables with water, salt and turmeric powder. ( Add salt only when veggies are cooked half way through) :- Add turmeric powder only when the water with vegetables starts boiling. 3)Grind together the coconut, cumin seeds, curry leaves, small onions and a little curd or tamarind juice (as mango can be sour enough). :- You can add greenchilliies too for grinding , then avoid adding them to vegetables. 4)Once the vegetables are cooked, add the ground paste. 5)Cook Aviyal till the raw coconut is cooked. :- Do not over cook the Aviyal, as the whole mix will dry up. 6)Once Aviyal is cooked, add coconut oil and mix well. :- You can add tamarind instead of curd to make Kerala Aviyal. |
