This is the story of the origin of one of the iconic dishes from southern Indian state Kerala,
When The Ruler of Travancore announced a Grand feast in his palace. He went to the royal kitchen to see if things are going all well. He saw the pile of vegetables remaining and peels.

So, he called the Royal cook and questioned it. Cook informed that by pointing towards the garbage box that he is going throw it away as he used the main art of the vegetable.
The Maharaja ordered to find out the way for use the remaining and reduce the waste and told him ‘He can’t waste all these bit and pieces of vegetables.’

Confused and scared cook now started to think how to use it and suddenly came up with the idea to use the remaining vegetable pieces. He cut them in strips and put it inside the big pot and put it on fire to cook it. Meanwhile he prepared the spices, grated fresh coconut, chilies and garlic and mixed it together and add it in the pot.

A pleasing aroma started to come out of the pot. So, he whipped fresh curd and added with the vegetable and before serving it he added dashes of coconut oil.
In dinner when guest had the new dishes, they complimented he cook for the new dish and asked the name so he told them ‘Avial’.
This is how the dish from a remaining of vegetable bits became famous with little creativity of cook.
Even now this dish is being served in feasts.
