Notes
- Goes well with Steamed rice and Parippu Curry.
- It can also be served along with Adai/Savoury Lentil Crepes.
- If serving for Adai prepare the Aviyal little watery by adding more water while cooking the vegetables. As I cooked my aviyal for Rice , I made it as a dry version.so adjust the water consistency according to your preference.
- Make sure not to skip Raw Banana and Drum stick as they are the main vegetables used.
- You can also use raw mango in preparing the aviyal. In that case you can skip adding tamarind.
- You can also add a tbsp. of curd to the aviyal at last.
- Never skip Coconut Oil as it the authentic way of preparing aviyal.
- You can also use vegetables like potato and yam for preparing aviyal.
- If possible try cooking aviyal in a claypot which gives the best taste.
