Kerala Avial Recipe (Malabar Style) | Avial Step by Step Recipe

I actully feel nervous posting this recipe,maybe cos its a very Special Kerala Onam Recipe and i dont wana goof up.

Not having Avial for Onam/Vishu is not having a Complete Onam Sadya.So it is a must,never skip it.

Now for what i know,this is the actual recipe MINUS the coconut oil( i  cant stand the smell)

               And once again i dedicate another recipe to my mama who makes the Worlds Best Avial,i hope you like how i make it mama ! mwahhh

    RULE NO 1 : CUT ALL VEGGIES THE SAME SIZE
    RULE NO 2:  DO NOT OVER COOK THE VEGGIES AFTER ADDING THE YOGURT MIX
    lets start


 So here is the recipe for Malabar Avial aka Kerala Avial a very special and easy Onam/Vishu Recipe

best part is you get to eat all different veggies at once

you need
carrot
beans
pumkin
drumstick
yam
baby brinjal
raw banana

soak the raw banana in turmeric and salt for 15 min
this will remove the black sticky fiber out

for the paste
coconut
yogurt
green chili
cumin
curry leaf>grind all this (not too fine)

what i do is,
i first crush the cumin ,green chili and curry leaf ..give it 1 crush ,then add in yogurt and coconut

see how the paste is ,still coarse

to cook the veg,first cook the veggies that take longer time.
add very less water when you cook them,also add salt !
PLZ COVER YOUR POT,SAVE ENERGY !

now its time to add the brinjal and pumkin,they cook fast so they go last !

add in your paste,gently stir.

cover for 10 min...no overcooking this



ta da there you go,its ready !
wish my mama was here to taste it !

 Do try this for your Onam Menu and watch everyone relish it.
