Aviyal Recipe – Kerala Avial Recipe – Onam Sadya Recipes

November 23, 2015 20 Comments

Aviyal or Avial is a Typical Kerala dish that has a variety of vegetables included in it and a very small amount of oil. Simple and healthy. (I have an updated version of Kerala aviyal recipe if you are interested).  It’s an essential part of the Kerala Onam Sadya and also any wedding sadya. Growing up, I didn’t like aviyal much but my brother loved it and so it showed up on our lunch table atleast every 10 days. The aviyal we make at home is more semi-dry than gravy and it goes marvelously with kerala sambar or vatha kuzhambu.

Kerala Aviyal or Avial Recipe

Ingredients: (to serve 2):

Carrots: 2 small
Beans: 10
Raw banana (vazhakka): 1 small
Drumstick: 1
Brinjal: 2
Tomato: 1 big
Cucumber: 1 small
Ivy Gourd (kovakka): 6
Raw mango: 1
Green chillies: 6
Freshly grated coconut: 1/2 cup
Jeera powder: 1.5 teaspoon
Curry leaves: 2 strands
Onions: 1/2 finely chopped
Coconut oil: 3 tablespoons
Curd: 3 tablespoons
Salt: to taste


How to make Aviyal:

1. Put the hard-to-cook vegetables together (carrots, beans, drumsticks, green chillies, mango, ivy gourd) with water just to cover them and 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder. Cook till the vegetables begin to turn soft. This will take 10-12 minutes.

2. Add the rest of the vegetables (cucumber, onions, tomatoes, brinjal) and cook for another 5 minutes.

3. Uncover and keep on fire till the excess water has evaporated.

4. Grind coconut with jeera and some curry leaves.

5. Add to the cooked vegetables, with salt, and mix well, making sure the the vegetables are not mashed together.

6. After 2 minutes, remove from fire, add the coconut oil, curry leaves and mix again.

7. Finally, add the curd, mix well and keep aside.

Aviyal goes well with rice and kerala vegetable sambar.

    Came across your recipe searching for variations in the Aviyal recipe. The addition of onions, mango and brinjal in the recipe is diiferent from the traditional one followed in some parts..
    Loved the posts.

    Hi…

    Came upon your blog while looking for aviyal recipes. Am a north indian married to a Malayalee who was born and brought up in Chennai. So I have to keep alternating between Tamil/Mallu food. I have almost converted over myself and use Mustard seeds more often than my pet north indian Jeera!! LOL… Anyways, found your recipes very simple and easy to cook. I can cook quite a few south indian dishes but havent yet tried aviyal…will do now after seeing your recipe. Lovely blog here…keep up the good work!
