A thick side dish made with mixed vegetables…Â
After the Easy Sambar and the Kaalan, here is the final recipe under the theme “A dish for each undertow of a meal” for the Blogging Marathon #138. This is not the first Avial recipe on my blog. I have already posted the way umma makes it – a little like a gravy and a difference in the spices used, which I like to undeniability the Malabar style. ???? As you may know, Avial or Aviyal is a side dish characterized by the vegetable cut like sticks and the lack of tempering.
This is one of the easiest dishes to make in a sadya, expressly if the vegetables are once ready. We get once cut avial vegetables, just like we get sambar vegetables, so it becomes really easy to cook. All you need to do is melt the vegetables till done, simmer with the coconut mixture and finish off with coconut oil and curry leaves. There is no tempering washed-up in this dish, just like the Olan. How much I love dishes that don’t need any uneaten work! ???? If the mixture does have a little fluid, don’t worry as it thickens as it sits, so at the time of serving, it will be of perfect consistency. I realized that there were no drumsticks in the aviyal mixture I got this time, so please make sure to add them, since it is the weightier part of this dish. Off to the recipe…
