Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup, peeled and cubed Yam
- 1 cup, peeled and julienned Carrot
- 1 cup, cut into 1-inch pieces Green beans
- 1 cup, peeled and cubed Raw banana
- 1 cup, cut into 2-inch pieces Drumsticks
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Grated coconut
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 Green chilies
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 10 Curry leaves
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables: peel and chop the yam and raw banana into cubes, cut the carrots into julienne strips, and prepare the green beans and drumsticks into the appropriate size pieces.
In a large pot, combine the yam, carrot, green beans, raw banana, and drumsticks. Add 1 cup of water, turmeric powder, and salt.
Cover and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes, or until the vegetables are halfway cooked.
Meanwhile, grind the grated coconut, cumin seeds, and green chilies into a coarse paste using a food processor or blender. If necessary, add a little water to help blend the ingredients smoothly.
Once the vegetables are halfway cooked, add the coconut paste to the pot. Gently mix to coat the vegetables with the paste.
Continue to cook uncovered for another 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the vegetables to cook through.
In a separate small pan, heat the coconut oil over medium flame. Add the curry leaves and stir for a few seconds until fragrant.
Pour the tempered curry leaves and oil over the aviyal. Stir gently to combine.
Remove the aviyal from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as a part of any Whole30-compliant meal.
