Aviyal - Indian Mixed Vegetable Stew image

This is a mixed vegetable stew from South India. This version from Iyer Kitchen cookbook by Arun Ganapathy tastes just like the best aviyal I've had in India. The mixed vegetables should be harder ones. Do not use greens, peas, tomatoes, etc. Use vegetables like green beans, potatoes, carrots, plantain, zuchinni, and yam.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 -5 cups mixed vegetables, cut 2-inches long and 1/2 inch wide
2 tablespoons vegetable oil or 2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
6 curry leaves, approximately
1 cup unsweetened grated frozen coconut
1 small hot green chili pepper
1 teaspoon cumin seed
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups yogurt
1/2 teaspoon turmeric

Steps:

  • In a small amount of water, cook vegetables until almost done.
  • Grind together the coconut, chili,and cumin seeds using just a little water to accomplish this. You should end up with a paste.
  • Add yogurt, tumeric and salt to the spice paste and mix well.
  • Turn heat on the vegetables to low and add the yogurt mix to the vegetables. A low heat keeps the yogurt from curdling. If it curdles, it's OK. You can still eat it. It just won't look as nice.
  • Heat the vegetable or coconut oil in a small pan. When hot add the mustard seeds. Cook until they pop.
  • Add mustard seeds and the oil they were cooked in as well as the curry leaves to the vegetables.
  • Serve over rice.
  • If you have them, toss some spicy banana chips (not sweet ones) on top.

I've never made aviyal before, but this recipe made it really easy. I'm definitely going to be making it again.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I would recommend making a few changes to suit your own taste. For example, I like to add more ginger and garlic.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my aviyal turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much coconut milk.

This recipe is way too complicated. I ended up giving up halfway through.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it would be better if you added more spices.

This dish is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a huge fan of coconut milk, but I really enjoyed this dish. The coconut milk flavor is very subtle and it doesn't overpower the other ingredients.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I often add whatever I have on hand, and it always turns out great.

I love the addition of jaggery to this dish. It gives it a slightly sweet and tangy flavor that is really unique.
