Aviyal is a classic Kerala recipe. It is a delightful mix of all kinds of vegetables in yoghurt & grated coconut and is seasoned with coconut oil and curry leaves. Its really a personal choice to use veggies like carrot, elephant yam, drumstick, snake gourd, potato, beans, cucumber, plantain etc. It goes perfect with hot steamed rice. Also it tastes best with Adai. Some prefer to make Aviyal dry, but we prefer to make it a little gravy. Try this signature dish of South Indian – Aviyal recipe & enjoy..!
