Kerala Style Aviyal Recipe | Mixed Vegetable Coconut Curry | Kerala Vegetarian Curry


I love Aviyal period. From a very young age if there is one vegetarian recipe that I love it is Aviyal, I am not sure why I love it but I did. Never knew how mum makes it but still I loved it. Its a Kerala recipe, a combination of loads of vegetables, coconut, seasoning and tempered with coconut oil. Some use curd others don't so its really a personal choice. I love it both ways. If you are opting for a vegan option skip curd.

Cooks Wisdom

- If vegetables are crispy and crunchy the avial will taste good.
- Make sure you taste  cucumber before adding it to the dish, at times it can be bit sour
- If the avial does not have enough sour taste, add fresh yogurt before serving. For vegan option skip using curd
- Adding the raw coconut oil in the end enhances the flavor of the dish.(optional).

  13. Hi Priya.. what if we skip the raw banana from this recipe ? Will it still turn out the same ?

    I dont like raw banana that much and have never used it in my cooking ever... But I am so willing to try this avial recipe now, let me know if there is any substitute for raw banana
