Aviyal (IPA: [aʋijal], Malayalam: അവിയല്) is a dish that has a unique place in a typical Kerala Cuisine. It is a thick mixture of a lot vegetables, curd and coconut.[Only Malabarees use curd in aviyal,it is a nasty thing to do so]. It is seasoned with coconut oil and curry leaves. It is supposed to have been invented by Bheema (one of the Pandava brothers) during his agnaathavaasa. According to the legend, Ballav (Bheem's name during this time) when he assumed his duties as the cook in the kitchen of Virata, did not know how to cook. One of the first things he did was to cut a lot different types of vegetables, boiled them together and put some grated coconut and voila... what do we have? aviyal!
