Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Mixed vegetables (carrot, beans, potato, drumstick, etc.)
- 1 cup Coconut yogurt
- 1 cup Grated coconut
- 2 pieces Green chilies
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 cup Water
Instructions
Wash and peel the vegetables. Cut them into even, medium-sized pieces.
In a blender, add grated coconut, green chilies, and cumin seeds. Grind them into a coarse paste using a little water.
In a large pan, add the chopped vegetables, turmeric powder, salt, and a cup of water. Cook on medium heat until the vegetables are tender but not mushy.
Add the coconut paste to the vegetables and mix well.
Lower the heat and add the coconut yogurt. Stir gently to combine. Be careful not to let the mixture boil after adding yogurt to prevent curdling.
Heat coconut oil in a small pan. Add curry leaves and fry for a few seconds until aromatic.
Pour this tempering over the Aviyal. Mix gently and remove from heat.
Serve hot with rice or roti.
