In our house probably we will have avial thrice a week...Each time amma makes this with different vegetables..
Some day she will make tomato avial or drumstick avial or yam avial and many more..Each time the flavours will be completely different and unique...
Today I am going to share my mums favorite avial using Beans and Potato.The vegetables are cooked in a spicy green coconut sauce...Totally delicious..
I would advice you to make the tempering using coconut oil..Because she always used that so I do..
I can give you a tip too,Whenever you are making any dish that have some form of coconut in it..try using coconut oil in that..because that enhances the flavour of the entire dish..
Ok no more delay..Off to the recipe..
