Avial


I didnt like avial when i had for the first time in my college hostel. Gradually i started liking it. Thanks to my friend of mine in Portland who gave the recipe. When I tried it for the time, it was really really good. This is such an easy one, a beginner can easily do it.

Carrot - 1 cup

Potato - 1 cup

Drum Stick - 6 piece

Raw Mango - 1/2 cup

Plantain - 1/2 cup

Coconut - 3/4 cup

Cumin Seeds - 2 teaspoon

Green chilli - add acc. to your tastebuds
Coconut oil

(You can add any veggies of your choice, except BeetRoot. Chop the veggies lengthwise)


Pressure Cook all the veggies with 1 cup of water and a pinch of turmeric powder. Coarse grind coconut, cumin and chillies.Mix the coconut mixture, with the veggies. If you need little watery, add water.In a pan, add coconut oil and throw the curry leaves. (Yeah.. I throw.. Kinda scared abt hot oil.)Add the oil mixture to the veggies.
