Method

At first wash and cut all the vegetables length wise that is about 1 inch length ..

Heat 1 table spoon of oil and add all vegetables and sauce for 5 minutes ..

Then add  ,Chilli powder ,add turmeric powder, ,salt ,curry leaves , green chilli slits (2) 1tsp of coconut oil ..Mix well ..

Close the kadai  and cook the vegetables in a medium heat..Stir Occasionally .

(I am using a nonstick pan so mostly no need to add water ..Otherwise add water to cook the vegetables )

Crush cumin and Small onions and remaining green chilli d curry leaves ..

Add this to the grated coconut and mix well  with hand .. u can add pinch of turmeric powder and salt to this and mix ..(  or  u can give it a quick whip ).

.We don`t want our coconut mix to become  a fine paste ..It should be like we blend for thoran ..

With a fork mix the curd to loosen up the lumps ..Add this curd to the cooked vegetables

and cook for 5 minutes ..

Then add coconut mix and gently mix ..

Then using a spoon gently press the avial and cook for few minutes in low flame till the steam comes ..

At this time if u want u can add crushed onion and green chilli on the top (opt)

Finally sprinkle coconut oil and few chopped curry leaves

Close the pan immediately and let it be like this 5 to 10 minutes ..

Then mix well and serve ..

Note: The spice is entirely depending up on the chilli u use,so change the amount of chilli accordingly ..and same with curd also ..

We prefer sour curd for making avial ..
