Avial recipe, how to make traditional Kerala avial with video
Avial is a typical Mallu side dish and a popular Kerala dish. There is no onam sadhya or Vishu sadhya or a wedding sadya without avial; you could say avial is the most important side dish for sadhya.
Avial is nothing but vegetables cooked and is mixed with coarsely grounded coconut and lastly drizzled with coconut oil. A very healthy and traditional dish and very easy to make.
In some parts of Kerala, tamarind juice is used instead of sour curd; but drumstick and raw banana is a must. Some add in 3 or 4 garlic cloves. During mango season, you can make with raw mangoes. In some parts of Kerala, tomatoes are also used. To make avial more healthy; you can add in a handful of fresh drumstick leaves.
I like to add taro root (chemu) during its season; you can also add achinga payar, amara payar, kumbalanga etc.

NOTES
Coconut should only be grinded coarsely.
You can drizzle up to 2 tbsp coconut oil, the more oil the more taste.
Fresh curry leaves gives a nice flavor.
Coconut oil is a must for avial; it should not be heated nor given a tadka with mustard seeds, it should only be drizzled over the curry towards the end of the cooking.
