This recipe is a staple of the Onam Sadhya feast. Ingredients Vegetables Aviyal typically uses a variety of crisp, locally available vegetables cut into 2-inch long, thick sticks. A total of 4-5 cups of mixed vegetables will suffice. Elephant foot yam Raw banana (plantain) Drumsticks Ash gourd (wax gourd) Carrot Beans or long beans Snake gourd or cucumber For the Coconut Paste ¾ - 1 cup grated coconut, fresh 2-3 green chilies, or to taste 1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera) Optional: 1-2 shallots or 1-2 garlic cloves Other Ingredients ½ tsp turmeric powder Salt to taste ¾ - 1 cup water ½ cup thick, beaten curd (yogurt) or use raw mango pieces for a vegan version 1 sprig curry leaves 1-2 tbsp coconut oil, for seasoning Instructions Prepare the Vegetables: Wash, peel, and chop all the vegetables into uniform, long, thick pieces. Keep aside. Cook the Vegetables: In a broad, heavy-bottomed pan or pot, add the harder vegetables first (yam, drumstick, raw banana), along with turmeric powder, salt, and enough water to just cover them. Bring to a boil, then cook covered for about 5-10 minutes. Add Remaining Vegetables: Add the softer vegetables (beans, carrots, ash gourd) and continue to cook covered until all vegetables are tender but not mushy (they should still have a slight bite). Prepare the Coconut Paste: In a grinder or blender, combine the grated coconut, green chilies, and cumin seeds. Grind into a coarse paste. If not using curd, a little water can be added for grinding. Combine with Coconut: Add the ground coconut paste to the cooked vegetables. Mix gently to combine everything well. Cook on low heat for another 2-3 minutes until the raw smell of the paste is gone; do not boil the mixture at this stage. Add Curd and Season: Switch off the flame. Stir in the smoothly beaten curd and mix gently. Final Tempering: Drizzle the coconut oil over the aviyal and add the fresh curry leaves. Cover the pan and let it rest for a few minutes so the flavors can infuse.explore love instagoo"
