In my previous post I would have mentioned that the best combination for ‘Karakuzambu’ is aviyal.Lets now see the preparation of Aviyal. This dish is mostly prepared during tamil festivals like Pongal,Thirvadhirai etc. It is rich in Coconut flauvor and also a healthy dish since it has a mixture
Grind Coconut,ginger,green chillies,raw rice,cumin seeds to a fine paste
Pressure cook the vegetables by adding a pinch of salt and 1/4 cup of water for upto 2 whistles. Or you can boil water in a large pot and add veggies in that to cook them in open pot method. Pressure cooking saves time
If you prefer the Aviyal to be thick then reduce the amount of water added while pressure cooking the veggies
Beat the curd.Mix coconut paste with beaten curd and them add them to the boiled veggies.
Keep the gas in low flame and let the aviyal boil for 10 minutes
Heat Tadka Pan with coconut oil
Add, mustard seeds, urad dal, curry leaves and let it splutter.
Now add it to the aviyal. This can be done before you serve the dish. Just to make sure the flavor is maintained.
