Adai Aviyal

Adai Aviyal is one of the famous tamil traditional protein rich breakfast dish. Aviyal goes very well with Adai. This Aviyal is little different from the Aviyal i make for the lunch. I add curd instead of tamarind here. Next time when you have any guest for the breakfast, try adai aviyal instead of conventional idly/dosa and I am sure they will appreciate this dish. You can also try this for an evening snack though its heavy.

Aviyal is a dish which is believed to have been originated from South India and is common in Kerala and Udupi cuisine. It is a thick mixture of vegetables and coconut, seasoned with coconut oil and curry leaves. Avial is considered an essential part of the Sadya, the Keralite vegetarian feast.

Unlike Idli / Dosa, Adai batter doesn’t need much fermentation and hence its very quick and easy to make Adai. Its just  the soaking time of rice and dals. Once the soaking time is over we can grind it and our batter will be ready in minutes. Then we can just keep the batter for an hour or two and then batter will be ready to make yummy and spicy Adai. Adai is always served with Aviyal and sometimes with Jaggery. Aviyal is generally less spice but rich in veggies and coconut. Adai is generally very spicy and hence the aviyal will be a best combination for Adai.
