Wonderful Waste!
The story is set in the Kingdom of Travancore in India. The king of the place is
organizing a feast in his palace. Thus, the cook is busy in the kitchen with the preparations for
it. In order to make sure everything is being prepared in full swing, the king decides to go in
for inspection. When he pays a visit to the kitchen, there is something odd that catches his
attention.
He finds a lot of vegetable scraps in a basket which was of no use and treated as
waste. Upon seeing this, the king orders the cook to not waste those scraps. Instead, he
commands him to make use of them in a wise manner. Thus, it leaves the cook confused and
baffled.
However, upon thinking hard, he does not reach a conclusion easily. All of a sudden,
a rather interesting idea comes to his mind. He takes up all the vegetable scraps and washes
them and cleans them properly. Then, he starts cutting them into long strips. After all this, the
cook tosses them all in a pot and lights to fire to cook it.
To these scraps, he goes on to add grounded coconut, green chilies, and garlic plus
salt. This enhances the flavor of the dish and he cooks it well. After that, the cook whips some
curd and adds it to the boiling curry. Moreover, he also pours a few spoonfuls of coconut oil.
These entire flavors combine to give the dish a nice aroma and look.
Finally, he garnishes the dish with curry leaves. And it is ready at last and everyone
ends up liking the dish a lot. Thus, the cook names this dish Avial which goes on to become
popular all over Kerala. And now, it is a part of a traditional Kerala feast which was once waste.
