I rarely make aviyal, and there are two reasons for that…One is mostly because of the veggies,the next reason is I forget ;) But I love the flavor of the dish! Mostly I make this as an accompaniment for rice along with vatral kuzhambu or kara kuzhambu or puli kuzhambu. I have never made this with Adai,which is the most famous combo! But I donno , we are not much fascinated about that combination. Any ways this recipe I simply followed from the cookbook my mom gave me. Came out nice!
My H and me both of us love aviyal in a way,for both of us,the texture of the veggies is very important,we don't like the veggies getting mashed,and we love our any kootu with the veggis not mashed too much,especially my H enjoys the texture very much along with the taste :)
So here’s the recipe for the aviyal I made, and I am disclaiming this may not be the authentic aviyal recipe from Kerala… But I assure you a great flavorful recipe :)
INGREDIENTS:
| Mixed veggies(see procedure for details) | 2 cups |
| Curd | 1/4 cup |
| Curry leaves | 1 sprig |
| Coconut Oil | 1 tsp |
| Green chilli slit | 2 nos. |
| Salt | As needed |
To grind:
| Coconut | 1/4 cup |
| Green chilli | 1 or 2 nos. |
| Cumin seeds/jeera | 3/4 tsp |
| Rice four | 1/2 tsp |
To temper:
| Coconut oil | 1 tsp |
| Curry leaves | 1 sprig |
| Mustard,optional | 1 tsp |
Method:
- I used the veggies drumstick,cluster beans,peas,beans,snake gourd,carrot,potato and plantain.Cut them into long strips kind of pieces
- I first boiled the veggies in purple font above first,along with green chillies,curry leaves and after those veggies are half done,then added rest of the other..I added plantain lastly as it takes less time to get cooked. You can pressure cook all the veggies together too for just two whistles with very little water.
- Then after the veggies gets cooked,grind the coconut first with green chillies and rice flour with little water and then add the jeera to grind coarsely. And add this mixture to the cooked veggies,mix in some coconut oil and give it a boil.
- Remove from fire and mix in the curd and temper the aviyal with coconut oil and curry leaves.(mustard if desired)
- Serve as accompaniment for rice or Adai.

Looks fantastic and the tamil font is so apt for a tamil dish :)
My fav one raji.. I can eat the whole avial without any other meal. Looks so yummy and with tamil font superb.
Yah even we two love the veggies to be crunchy and color to be maintained mostly, not to be mashed. Otherwise it spoils the taste of the whole dish.

I loveee my mom's aviyal a lot.U reminded me..:) looks nice !!
Such an authentic dish, i love it..
I make Avial too and love them with Sambar and Appalam. I have tried Adai with Avial but did not like the combination like most claim to be the best.
Even I can never understand the adai-avial combination... but my best friend goes crazy about this combination... I must make avial soon... it will go awesome with some spicy dish on the side :)
