I went to bed last night dreaming of making Avial for lunch. Work from home truly is such a blessing! I made a protein shake to suppress my hunger for a while and put the veggies in to cook, blended the gravy-ish stuff, mixed it all up, and voila! All this while getting some work-work done! 😉
Ingredients:
Avial mixed veggies – 1 pack
Water – as needed
Salt – 1 tsp
Turmeric – 0.5 tsp
Red chilli powder – 0.5 tsp
Gravy-ish stuff:
Shredded Coconut – 1 cup
Yogurt – 0.5 cup
Green chilli – 4-5
Cumin – 2 tsp
Garlic – 2 cloves
Curry leaves – a tiny handful
Step 1: Dump all your avial veggies into a pressure cooker with some turmeric and salt. Cook for about 20 mins. I let it sit for 2 whistles on the pressure cooker.
Step 2: Take the water out of this. Some of this water can be used to blend and make the gravy-ish stuff.
Step 3: Blend all of the above listed ingredients for the gravy-ish stuff.
Step 3: This goes into the cooker with the veggies. Mix well. Add a hint of turmeric, chilli powder and salt as needed.
Enjoy with rice and a nice chicken curry like we did. 🙂
