Avial  is a classic Kerala preparation. A delightful mix of all kinds of vegetables in yogurt, grated coconut, cumin seeds and seasoned with coconut oil and curry leaves.

The choice of vegetables are really choice of your own, personally one could use whatever they prefer like carrot, yam, pumpkin ( white/yellow) drumstick, snake gourd, potato, beans etc.It goes well with hot steamed rice. Many make this preparation dry or prefer it a little gravy either way it is very appetizing for the eyes and stomach….!…..:-)
