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.

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!
