Avial

Avial – अवियल; is an South Indian dish. It is a thick mixture of vegetable, coconut and curd. Some part of Kerala it has a curry version. My recipe is thick as mostly it was made.

In Wikipedia – avail is developed by Bhima (one of the Pandava brothers) during their exile. According to the legend, when Ballav (Bhima’s name during this time) assumed his duties as the cook in the kitchen of Virata, he did not know how to cook. One of the first things he did was to chop up many different vegetables, boil them together and top the dish with grated coconut. To read in detail visit Wikipedia avial page.
