Avial - By Vahchef @ Vahrehvah.com

Avial is a dish that has a unique place in typical Kerala as well as Tamil cuisine and Udupi cuisine. It is a thick mixture of vegetables, curd and coconut, seasoned with coconut oil and curry leaves. Avial is considered an essential part of the Sadya, the Keralian vegetarian feast.

[@obso1337desu]

Chef, it was actually really refreshing to see you use your hands. My parents are Filipino and often stay away from using their hands (this is traditional) even when good family friends are around, in fear that it looks barbaric. I will never understand the stigma. Thanks so much, chef!

[@magicwoman8239]

I have made aviyal many times in my life. I have been told that I make it very well too. But when I followed your instructions it just took my aviyal to another level...., way higher than my usual. You have so much to offer , vahchef , be it any recipie and you give without holding back. The aviyal tasted yummy - the yummiest that I have eaten until now. God bless you!

[@utkarshabane3680]

I just love the way you teach how to prepare every dish. Above all when you relish it my mouth also waters.

[@Mahadevan760]

What I love about your channel, is the way you go gaga over your cooking, I love a man who loves good food, even if it is cooked by himself, I can literally see you watering in the mouth, as you savor the flavours of your cooking , keep it up Sanjay !!!

[@PradeepGovindaraju1]

The way you threw the spoon was spontaneous and awesome :)

[@jaszzy26]

there is always some surprise by this guy in his videos it was so funny when he threw his spoon... hahahah... he is always mouthwatering when he cooks anything....

[@priyankapoddar6890]

awww....the way you tossed away the spoon! u have a remarkable style of your own,

[@PradeepGovindaraju1]

Our beloved vah chef, everytime you get to taste the delicious dishes you cook all by yourself which is so totally greedy :) . How about shows with audience? I, for one, will surely travel to Hyderabad to take a bite. No kidding. Personally, what I love most about the food apart from the fact that they are delicious dishes, is the simple and easily available ingredients you use. Most of the times, we are able to try out them at home without a visit to nearby super market. God bless our chef.

[@minjonparappilly]

Chef the avial is so yummy my mouth was watery while watching. I am proud to be a malaya lee. I spend six years of my life in AP and I love Andhra food and telugu. I can still speak Telugu fluntlly

[@NiyaPriya]

Rice,sambar and avial thats the combination...and in kerala we add plain coconut oil in the end...not while boilng the vegtables...nd no tempering with mustard seeds.. But anyway the way you cook is great..we enjoy a lot... Keep sharing all the lipsmacking dishes..

This channel is my hidden treasure. The way you threw the spoon was a laugh riot😂

[@Msdeeps1990]

nice recipe and presentation..😊😊 In the authentic way of preparation, we dont add mustard and heated coconut oil.. just add a spoon of uncooked, unheated oil and curry leaves at the end of cooking.. it gives a nice aroma and is much healthier 😊😊.

[@harinikarthik6634]

The avial was fantastic wen i cooked by the way you said. Thank you chef ..!

[@lakshmyk]

in avial v wont add mustard seeds , and for paste v add shallots too with coconut,cumin seeds,green chilly for traditional kerala avial. I am from kerala,am a big fan of you.. i just love your recipes ... keep rocking!!!!!

[@Kixshani]

Great recipe,the part where you taste it is the cherry on the video,as usual!!!

[@vahrehvah]

we will have to go to Maharashtra from next week and then head further to North , but we will come back to Kerala very soon

[@achuliju]

Aviyal, we prepare when we have whole lot of left veges and wonder what to do. Atleast 8-10 veges goes in, definitely green peas, Bitter gourd and few other veges are excluded. Cutting all veges in same size is a task in it self for beginners. Takda, garlic and onions too are excluded. But as you said there are many variations.

[@alexanderthomas1169]

Wah wah , thank you sensei ....that came out brilliant !!!

[@vahrehvah]

[@vinodinisreedharan4149]

Please have look at our Avial recipe and offer your valuable comments. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpLQpYyiprhqjqc

[@jjabeenj3620]

I followed ur recipe of Avial n it came out very well... We r Muslims n don't do such veggies at home... But I love Avial... And thank u for d recipe master...

[@sadayarkoil]

Veggies NOT to be added in Avial: Okra, Onion, Garlic, Ginger, Tomatoes, Bitter Gourd to mention a few that came to my mind. Turmeric powder is not used. Only Coconut oil should be used. Cheers!

[@sumitraveluswamy6828]

Sanjay garu Kerala lo avail Thalimpu cheyaru kobbari nooretapudu curd veyali.

[@hishamsalim4908]

I think uduppi style avial dont have turmeric...keralite uses turmeric other things u said was 100 % correct ..asofoetida too

[@hari325]

I'm not malayali but I have lived amongst many malayali families all my life and they always added turmeric.

[@sadayarkoil]

Dear Sanjay No Turmeric Powder, Hing or even a shade of Shallot in an Authentic Avial. Aviyal is mostly a Brahmin Dish. We do not add DRUMSTICKs or onions. The way you showed cooking the dishes is great. Will tell the authentic way and the veggies that should (and should NOT) go into Avial in sometime. I am very busy now. Thank you Sanjay. God Bless you As Always! Subbu from Chennai ========================

[@linnettony]

Great Video

[@ragnimurugesn9196]

I made this avial and my family loved it. Your oration is fabulous. We enjoyed watching your video with your expressive descriptions. I will subscribe.

[@hugodeepu]

Dear Vahchef i like to watch your almost video its good, If you are making kerala style Aviyal u must add turmeric powder,garlic shllots and never ever put mustard, no one put mustard in aviyal its the saddest true. thanks chef for
