Being native to Kerala, a part of south India, Avial has become a tradition in its nearby states like Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
Avial (Aviyal) is a super delicious and healthy cuisine made with a lot of root vegetables, and common vegetables like gourd, brinjal, raw banana, yam, drumstick, coconut, yogurt, coconut oil, and even carrot. The coconut oil that covers the mixture gives some additional taste to the veggies. To be mentioned, coconut plays the biggest role in making the cuisine more comfort.
Aviyal is a way of food life in Kerala. No special events become special without Aviyal. Its unique aroma makes it the traditional dish of Kerala. The special Onam feast of Kerala won't be complete without Aviyal.
