Aviyal (pronounced as (uh-v-ul)) is a dish from the lush green State of Kerala in South India. It is a thick mixture of steamed vegetables in spiced coconut curry. It is known for it’s rich flavor and is usually served with steaming hot rice or indian chapathi bread. There’s something about the smell of cummins together with curry leaves & coconut that draws me to it. I enjoy this recipe from my mom on any given day. A small tip: You can also try this recipe with different vegetables of your choice like pumpkin, beets, eggplant, cucumber, drumsticks etc. to add a new flavor every time you make this dish. Happy cooking and enjoy your vegetarian feast! I’d be delighted to hear your curry adventure, so do drop me a line or two in your coffee time! Enjoy!
