Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 medium Potato
- 100 grams Green beans
- 1 medium Drumstick
- 1 small Raw banana
- 1 cup Coconut, grated
- 2 small Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 1 cup Yogurt (curd)
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 to taste Salt
Instructions
Peel and cut the carrot, potato, and raw banana into 2-inch long pieces. Cut the green beans and drumstick into similar lengths.
In a large vessel, add the chopped vegetables. Pour in enough water to just immerse the vegetables, along with a pinch of turmeric powder and salt. Cook covered until the vegetables are tender but not mushy, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, grind the grated coconut, green chilies, and cumin seeds into a fine paste using a few tablespoons of water.
Once the vegetables are cooked through, add the coconut paste to the pot and mix gently. Cook for another 5 minutes on low heat, ensuring the mixture doesn't boil vigorously.
Whisk the yogurt until smooth and add it to the vegetables. Gently combine the yogurt with the vegetable mixture without letting it boil, as boiling may cause the yogurt to curdle. Cook for another 3 minutes on low heat.
In a small pan, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add the curry leaves and let them splutter.
Pour the tempered curry leaves and oil over the aviyal. Remove from heat and stir gently to combine.
Serve the nut-free aviyal warm as a side dish with steamed rice or roti.
