Avial
is a dish that has a unique place in typical Kerala as well as Tamil cuisine of
Sri Lanka. 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 Keralan vegetarian feast.
Vegetables commonly used in avial are yam, plantain,
pumpkin, carrots, beans, eggplant, and cucumber.
This dish can be made into a gravy or be made into a semi-solid side
dish. It is generally eaten with rice. The
word "avial" is also used to denote an assortment or a mixture—this sense being
derived from the way the dish is made.
The Antigua Curry Club is looking for a few more curry eaters …
there are one or two memberships available for resale.
