How to prepare the Aviyal Gravy:

Grind grated coconut, green chillies, cumin seeds and the coriander powder together to a smooth paste.

Mix this with the beaten curds and salt to taste. Add pinched curry leaves to the mixture.

Add boiled and shelled eggs to this gravy and bring it to boil. The gravy should be thick and not runny / watery.

As the gravy starts boiling remove from fire. Pour Coconut oil onto the top of the gravy and mix well.

Serve as a side dish with Rice, Chappathies  and Phulkas.



Note:

Dos and Don'ts while using coconut in your kitchen.

Whenever you make a curry or gravy with fresh coconut, see that the curry does not boil too much. There is a chance of the coconut curdling and the curry will not look good. You have to just bring the curry to boil, simmer for a munite and remoce from fire at once. Stir for a minute and then cover.

If you want to store aviyal for the next, just cool it under the fan , bring it to room temperature and then

refrigerate immediately.
