Notes

1. Do not use sour curd, use fresh thick curds.

2. My mom always adds curd to aviyal just before serving, so that you can avoid getting the sour taste.

3. Do not grind the coconut mixture into a fine paste. Just pulse it twice and add.
4. You can add raw mango too, if adding skip the yogurt.

5. Kerala Aviyal pairs well with any South Indian meal and is one of the star item on Onam sadhya menu
