recipe for making avial\u00a0<\/a>in my Sadya blog post, for making that I’ve added yogurt to impart the sourness.<\/p>\nHowever, in this recipe, I’ve added raw mango instead of yogurt. Mixed veggies along with raw mango and coconut, a very simple, humble yet delicious vegetarian side dish to enjoy with rice.<\/p>\n

\nThe raw mango I used was very sour, so half of the raw mango was enough. If the mango you are using is not that sour, you have to add 1 whole mango.<\/li>\n This dish is not too sour, it’s only mildly sour, so don’t end up adding too much raw mango or tamarind.<\/li>\n If you don’t have raw mango, add 1 cup yogurt taken in a bowl & beat well using a fork.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n <\/p>\n
