Avial is one of my favorite recipes from childhood. Its such an easy dish to make and the real beauty of this dish is in the fact that , you can use any veg you like in this and the result would be and amazingly delicious and healthy side dish with rice. Oh I can't imagine a onam and vishu sadya without this..Yumm!
Are you on a diet , then this is for you! Instead of 1.5 cup grated coconut add just 1/4 cup and add only those" good for you on diet" vegetables and make this .
