Avial is the most popular Kerala dish as I know. It is the highlight of Onam sadhya. It is very healthy as it has a bunch of boiled veggies with hardly any frying in oil. It tastes splendid too. Here is my Mom's recipe.
Ingredients
1)
2 cup vegetables - preferably country veggies like dudhi, pumpkin, plantain, drumsticks, carrots,tindora, okra, eggplant
1 pinch turmeric powder
2)
1/2 cup grated coconut
2-3 flakes garlic
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 chillies
3)
2 tbsp yoghurt
curry leaves
coconut oil
