Avial Recipe by ZMA
 ZMA @zesty5 #cookpadindia #newrecipe #Kerala #everydaycooking Avial is generally a very healthy dish packed with a variety of Vegetables providing essential nutrients and Fibre. The use of Coconut and Curd adds Protein, healthy Fats and Vitamins while the subtle spices makes it a gut friendly and easy to digest meal. It's made with crisp Vegetables like Yam, Ash Gourd, Raw Bananas, Brinjals, Carrots, Green Beans, Pumpkin, Drumsticks etc. These Vegetables that are used are full of Fibre, Vitamins and Antioxidants. Curd used in it provides probiotics that support gut health and digestion. Overall a healthy side that can be made on any given day. And the best part is the making process as well which is too simple and easier. This is a pure comfort food for sure. Avial is a low spice alkaline dish that is easy on the digestive system. Drumsticks are rich in Iron and Calcium while Carrots are rich in Vitamin A. Almost all the Vegetables are loaded with nutritional goodness and hence this is one amazing dish from the State of Kerala. It is one of the most simplest and loved dishes from the South Indian cuisines. I generally use all Vegetables that are seasonal and hence it becomes even more nutritious and flavourful. Seasonal Vegetables are the best and in that way, many of the available Veggies can be put to use in this exquisite amalgamation of flavours and tastes. Let's get started.

An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself. With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life. I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
