i visited one tamil aunty on monday evening and background jaya tv arusuvai idhu thani suvai was going on. so i half heard this recipe as that aunty was talking. could not find tat program online. but i tried her asathal aviyal (thats the name) it came out tasty.

Asathal Aviyal (revathy shanmugam)

TIPS Given by her

boil veges like vazhakai yam potatoes seperately which will discolor, for better color of aviyal.

do not add curd at all for aviyal, if one likes add while serving on the plate. soaking the entire aviyal in curd will not taste good.

she told brinjal also tastes good but need to be boiled separately. poosani and guvar beans are must.



Ingrediants:

600 gms vegetables cut length wise ( poosani, potatoes, carrot, guvar beans, vazhakai, beans,chow chow,drumsticks,yam, etc)

paste:

coconut 1 cup,4 green chilles ,3 red chilles 1 tsp jeera, 6 small onions, cashew nuts - 2 table spoon

grind the above with minimum water.

boil the veges as per the tips then add the paste boil for another 5mins.

just before taking of the stove add 2 tsp coconut oil and chopped curry leaves.

Thanks Sangeetha, the recipe too looks asathal too.
Very simple to do, my,my you do have sharp ears, a very good asset.
I too like to try out simple recipes.

Sangeetha I was talking to my aunt over the phone and the topic paal curry came out.
She at once told me the recipe for the village type of paal curry that she knew.
I just jotted the ingredients and made it to day. Will post soon for you.
Thanks, Kugan.

madhushree,

thanks for an another recipe. i have tasted this poondu milagu kulambu from my college friends mom. she also taught me this during those days as i like this one a lot. but i forgot that recipe, thanks again this looks similar to hers the masala is same but just instead of frying the poondu for kulambu she told to put the poodu once the tamarind water starts to boil and then the garlic will be cooked in 10 mins.

now i remember. excellent with parboiled rice. appa winter start agum podu correcta kuduthitenga.
