Isn’t avial normally yellow? This recipe missed out turmeric..that would’ve given it the traditional yellow colour and the mild manjal flavour.The creamy look gives it more of a pachadi or dessert appearance also.Rest looks good & keep up good efforts.

Priya, Some add turmeric to avial and some do not. We Tanjore Maharastrians add turmeric to khadi/moorkuzhambu but do not add turmeric to Avial recipe. Its more of a personal preference 🙂 Thanks for dropping by!
