Thrissur style Avial
avial shot taken in 2017

Thrissur style avial is slightly different from the normal palakad avial. The difference is the inclusion of shallots/small onions in avial. We roughly grind them and add it along with the vegetables. Also turmeric powder is added to it. In the typical Avial we don’t add turmeric powder.

there are some do’s and dont’s in making avial. 

  • do not use much water/no water if possible. vegetables have to be cooked from the water released from vegetables itself. so use more white pumpkins so that more water is released.
  • layer the vegetables in the order of its time taken to cook. more time at the bottom, vegetables that take less time taken should be at the top. 
  • vegetables have to be cut at the same length and width for a good presentation and even cooking. 
  • adding small onions are optional but dont add too much.
