Avial & Pineapple Pachadi

Jijesh made Murali and I avial and pineapple pachadi in celebration of Holi. Avial is one of Kerala's special dishes: a savoury coconut, spice and chili based sauce coating a long list of vegetables including carrots, yams, beans, snake gourd, peas, and drumstickss (a long fiberous vegetable shaped like a drumstick). Pineapple pachadi is a sweet and sour dish where the fruit (mango is also common) is cooked in a savoury yogurt sauce. These dishes were delicious with white rice and papadum on the side.
