Learn how to make Aviyal with this simple and easy gravy with a mix of vegetables that tastes so delicious when mixed with rice and enjoyed.
Avialis a popular dish across all the South Indian states, though it is popularly known as a Kerala dish. I grew up eating this when Amma gets the specially cut vegetables in the right sizes and we enjoy it as a side dish along with other main dishes or sometimes as such too.
I already have another version of Avial that I shared many years ago. As it happen, we do have different recipes slightly different from the other. You can use different vegetables listed or in any combination.
We are starting our final week of Thalis and Platters and I will be sharing some of our simple lunch meals. I served this Aviyal with Paruppu Thogayal, Rasam, Fryums, Steamed Rice and Curds. On SYL, its another simple meal.
