Aviyal - A Kerala Delight

Alok (My Hubby)  is not a great fan of coconut based dishes with few exceptions and one of them being Aviyal. He loves it a lot. It is also my parents favorite.

It is quite easy to make and has loads of vegetables in them.

Ingredients

Mixed Vegetables - 3 Cups (I used Drumstick,french Beans,Broad Beans,carrot,Yam,Raw Banana)
Coconut - 1/2 Cup
Green Chillies - 6 (Suit to your taste)
Cumin Seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
Curd - 1/2 Cup (Beat it well with a fork or spoon)
Salt - To taste
Coconut Oil - 1 teaspoon
Curry leaves - Few
Mustard Seeds - 1/ Teaspoon

Ingredients

• Grind coconut,green chillies and cumin seeds into a smooth paste. 
• Boil the vegetables in water until they are cooked. Depending on the choice of your vegetables cook them accordingly. For example I started with Yam and once it is half done added Banana and then rest of the vegetables and added Drumstick at last.
• Don't over cook any vegetable.
• Once the Vegetable is 3/4 th done , add the coconut paste,salt and cook till the raw flavour is gone.
• Then switch off the flame and add the beaten curd stir and cover and rest it for 3-5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a tadka pan, warm the coconut Oil, add the Mustard seeds and once they splutter add the curry leaves and pour this over the prepared Aviyal. 
• Your Aviyal is ready to be served.
