Easy & Quick Avial (Kerala Recipe)

 

I got this recipe from my friend Sandhya almost 10 yrs back when I went to her house for lunch. Avial which she was prepared had more gravy than any other that I had tasted before and the main ingredient in it was raw banana. I liked it so much and immediately took the recipe. Now here its there for all.
