Oats Aviyal
Advertisement
Oats avial is a variation of the popular South Indian avial which is a delicious preparation made with a thick mixture of  vegetables and coconut and seasoned with coconut oil, mustard seeds and curry leaves.  Aviyal is a considered as an essential part of  the Keralite vegetarian feast.  The vegetables commonly used are yam, plantain, pumpkin, carrots, beans and potatoes. This dish can be made into a gravy or  into a semi-solid side dish. It is generally eaten with rice. Here I have given a twist and added oats to make it more healthier.  The basic gravy of coconut and curd is more thickened with the powdered oats added to it, but tastewise it the same delicious aviyal we all love.
