Vegetable Avial (Brahmin style)

Avial is a special dish made on any occasion and this addition makes a lunch a feast. Avial is a popular dish and a mandate in all Brahmin and kerelites house during any festival lunch.

This is a semi solid gravy made with all the vegetables soaked in thick curd - ground coconut mixture.

Main Vegetables to be used in Avial : Pusanikai (white pumpkin), Murunkakkai (Drumstick), Valakkai (Raw banana), Sebankalangu (Yam), Carrot , pattani (peas). Or atleast I use these as mandate ones as they surely give a great flavor to dish and tastes good. Other than these one can also add, beans, brinjal, kothavarangai, Potato, Avarakkai ect. Try adding a max of 6 -7 different vegetables not more than that

Preparation time : Pre-preparation - 30 min, Cooking time: 10 min; serves:4 people

Ingredients:
Drumstick - 1
White pumpkin - 1 slice
Raw banana - 1
Peas - handful
Yam - 1 slice
Kothavarangai- 10
Carrot -1
Beans - 10

Wash and dice these vegetables in long shape more like fingers, add salt and turmeric and cook in pressure for 1 whistle. (add little water just enough to cook vegetables)

Curd - 1 cup
Coconut - 1 cup
Jeera - 1 spoon
Cocunut oil - 1 spoon
Green chilly - 4

Grind Green chilly, cocunut and jeera and keep aside

Season:
Mustard seeds,
Curry leaves
Jeers

Process
Take a kadai and pour cocunut oil , when hot use the seasoning agents(mustard, curry leaf and jeera) and leave it to splutter.

Now add the ground coconut and leave it to cook for a minute

Add the vegetables and add required amount of salt.

Cook for few minutes

Add curd and cook for a min, check for salt and spice.

Remove from flame, this avial tastes its best with Puliyotharai or Adai. Receipes for with are on the way!!

Have a feast with this avial
