About Recipe

When someone says avial, i m reminded of a childhood neighbour. I used to call her maami. And she was a Palakkad brahmin. I can say she was a godmother sort of person to me and she was the one who introduced me to this dish. And this is my husband s favourite dish. He happens to like the coconut flavour in the dish and i love it because it s loaded with veggies of all kinds.I generally serve it with adai or rice. Adai Aviyal combo is quite popular in Tamil Nadu especially Coimbatore cos we are close to Kerala. Whenever i eat the dish, fond memories of me ambling at maami s house come back to me. And that s why this is so close to my heart. For Maami and my husband, from my kitchen, a bowl full of that creamy flavourful avial. Maybe i ll meet her this time when i go home. And i ll tell her that i made avial. I can imagine the flow of conversation.... :)
