furthermore, some important tips and suggestion for this south indian delicacy. firstly, i have added curd in this recipe which adds the sour taste to the curry. optionally, raw mango or even soaked tamarind water can also be added. secondly, if you prefer to have very thick avial gravay, add 1-2 tsp of soaked channa dal / soaked rice while grounding coconut. beans, potatoes and carrots are the latest introduction to the avial recipe and traditionally were not used. you can skip it if you need a authentic recipe of avial.

  1. I tried this for the first time and everyone loved it. I have been following your videos for quite some time now and no recipe of yours has ever disappointed me till date…. Thank you a lot for doing this

  2. Your site is one of the best I have ever come across. One small suggestion for Avial you need to grind only coconut and green chillies no need to add jeera. If you add jeera it becomes kootu. And no need of tempering also. You just have to coconut oil and curd.

  3. Your videos and recipes are awesome. I browse only your website for all recipes. It’s very user friendly. But I just want to give one suggestion. In Avial they do not use jeera for grinding. We use only coconut and green chillies. And we don’t temper it with mustard udadh dhal and red chillies. We add paste curd and coconut oil. This is the authentic recipe.

  4. 5 stars
    One great thing about your videos are its duration which is just right for today’s pace….short n crisp….nothing more or nothing less or else in any of the videos… Keep doing such wonderful recipes n videos
