Aviyal


Ingredients


Coconut oil - 2 tbsp
Curry leaves - 1 sprig


Cut Vegetables (total 3 cups)
[Slow-cooking]
Raw Banana - 1 nos
Yam - 1/4 cup
Carrots - 1/4 cup
Beans - 1/4 cup
Ivy grourd/Tendli - 1/4 cup
Cluster beans/kotthavarai - 1/4 cup (after slicing)
[Fast-cooking]
Sanke gourd - 1
Brinjal/Pudalankai - 1/4 cup
Drumsticks - 1/4 cup


Boiling ingredients
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Salt


Masala paste
Grated Coconut - 1 1/2 cup
Small onions - 8 nos
Cumin seed - 1 tsp
Green chillis - 6-7 nos
Ginger - 1/2 inch piece
Curds - 2 tbsp
Curry leaves - 3-4 leaves


Preparation Method
  • Cut all the vegetables lengthwise into 1" pieces (thick julienne/Stick shape)
  • Boil the vegetables until half done with turmeric powder and salt. Do not overcook as you will have to cook this further with the ground masala paste. I add vegetables in two rounds ... I add the fast cooking ones that take longer to cook later
  • Fry cumin seeds on low fire until light brown
  • Grind the coconut,  green chillies, small onions, ginger and cumin seeds to a coarse masala paste
  • Heat coconut oil in a vessel
  • Add curry leaves and saute for 5-10 seconds
  • Add ground masala and cook for 5-6 six minutes in medium flame (until raw smell is gone)
  • Add half cooked vegetables and cook until vegetables are cooked. It is important that the vegetables are crisp
  • Add curds, mix and turn off the heat
Other vegetable options
