- Add the remaining vegetables and simmer till all veggies are done.
- Heat a nonstick pan, add the drained vegetables along with the ground coconut paste.
- Add turmeric powder and required salt.
- Simmer on low flame for 5 minutes for the coconut paste to get cooked.
- Switch off and remove the pan from heat, add beaten curds and mix well.
For Tempering
- Heat coconut oil in a small pan and temper with the tempering ingredients.
- Pour this over the aviyal and mix everything well. Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.
- Serve it with rice or adai.
Notes
Curds is always added after removing from flame, else there is a chance of it getting curdled.
