    Aviyal Recipe

    One of the most common recipe which mom makes several times a week is this avial. This is one of the staple recipe in our house and i love it so much. I have a version of malabar avial in my blog. But i have missed to post my mom's version of avial. So this is it. Since onam is around the corner, you can include this in the onam sadya menu list.

    When I asked my mom for this recipe, she gave me few important points which she insisted me to mention in the post. 

    1)Don't add salt to the vegetables in the beginning. This will make them tough and not cook properly.
    2) Add turmeric powder twice so it gets nice colour and flavour.
    3) If you use very sour mango, neglect the tamarind or taste the avial and add in the end.
    4) Don't add too much water while cooking the vegetables. Add little and cook them
