Avial or aviyal (Malayalam: അവിയല്, pronounced [aʋijal]) is an Indian dish with origins in Kerala of India. It is a thick stew of usually 13 vegetables commonly found in the Western Ghats and coconut, seasoned with coconut oil and curry leaves. Avial is considered an essential part of the main meal in Kerala (oonu in Malayalam), often the star dish in a traditional Kerala Sadhya and is also served as a delicacy in South India. Saying something is an avial is also a common phrase attributing that thing to being a mess.
Central Travancore has a slightly different variety of avial with its thin gravy; whereas the classic avial is thick.
