Instant pot Avial

L1: 2-3 tbsp oil

L2: 2 tbsp oil

L3: chopped beans, carrots, cubed frozen suran (you get in Indian store)

L4: chopped white kaddu/zucchini/watery vegetables

L5: chopped cabbage

L6: haldi

L7: thick paste of coconut, cumin, green chilies

Salt

Steam more, high pressure, for 3 min.

QR the steam 5 min after it switches off.

Open and then mix it all for Avial.

Adding curd is apparently optional. We like it with curd and more in kadhi like consistency.

Tadka:

Make tadka with coconut oil, mustard seeds, red chilies, curry leaves.

Very true indeed. But let me share with you the cool origin-foodlore behind it and why it makes sense.

There are many stories about the invention of Avial, though the one related to Prince Bhima seems to be most popular. It is believed that Avial was invented by Prince Bhima, one of the five Pandavas, during their exile. . According to Mahabharata, during the 13th year of their exile, the Pandavas lived in the kingdom of King Virata in disguise to avoid being detected by the Kauravas. As per the terms of the exile, if the Pandavas were detected they would be exiled again for another 12 years.

Bhima or Ballava under his new disguise started carrying out various tasks in the kitchen, such as cleaning and chopping vegetables and helping in the preparation of the meals. One day, after everyone had finished their meal, an unexpected guest arrived at the palace. It was Rishi Durvasa, who was known for his ill temper and the habit of cursing if not offered the best hospitality. Bhima had the task of cooking up a delicious meal for the Rishi to avoid his rage, but there wasn't much food in the kitchen other than a handful of vegetables.

With hardly having any time at hand, Bhima quickly got down to preparing a dish using whatever ingredients that were available in the kitchen and created Avial. Luckily, Rishi Durvasa was immensely pleased with the meal and left the palace satisfied. The dish soon started being raved about, becoming hugely popular in no time.

Avial is a dish my mom used make at home when there is no enough vegetables to make a single one. Just take whatever is left and make avial. Crisis managed and zero wastage. Like they say, Old problems need Old solutions.

Derived from the same dish is the Malayalam proverb "it has become Avial" (Avial pole Ayi) meaning that everything leftover has mushed together to take a new form. Mostly used when in distress which makes sense because despite its mythological appease the dish looks exactly like how it is described.

Useless Veilguard fact of the day: Day 13

You can use both the left and right stick of your controller to pick options on the dialogue wheel (and not just the left stick like it was in DAI).

Bonus fact: there is a limit on how many dialogue options can be on screen at the same time before the controller will stop responding. In the example below, which is achievable with my Multiple Factions for Rook Mod, you would be able to select dialogue options only using your mouse and/or keyboard.

"This world is the only reality available to us, and if we do not love it in all its terror, we are sure to end up loving the ‘imaginary,’ our own self-deceits, the utopias of politicians, the futile promises of future reward which the misled call ‘religion'." Leslie Fiedler

I feel so full and emotionally warm from today. I've been excited, happy, dreamy, curious and also laughing hysterically so much within one day span that I feel pleasantly delirious now. I feel as though I've eaten a very big meal, despite not eating much, like if feelings gained weight of their own... I am not used to this large amount of positive emotions at all xD

As High King Fingolfin came down from his orgasm, he noticed his lover was frowning.

“I’m sorry, was I too rough?”

“Don’t start that again, you were tender and careful as always.”

“Did you not come? I’m a bit worn out, but I can use my hand.”

“You saw me come quite dramatically over your abs. I’m perfectly comfortable and you were in no way neglectful of my needs.”

“Than what’s wrong?”

“I just said I’m comfortable, there’s no need to worry over me.”

"And yet I do. Obviously something is troubling you, and I would hear it even if I cannot solve it.”

Celebrimbor sighed. “You called me Curufinwe.”

“Ah. I’m sorry, I know you don’t prefer that name.”

“If you’re going to pretend that you’re screwing someone else, at least call him Feanaro so I know who I’m substituting for. I’d rather stand in for someone who is truly impossible to reach rather than someone who merely requires an inconvenient amount of effort. If you want to fuck my father, you need only send a letter to Himlad.”

“I have absolutely no interest in Curufin!”

“So call me by my grandfather’s name or my own, but not his. I’m only asking for clarity, not attraction on my own behalf.”

“Celebrimbor, you have the last already. I am picturing only you when we pleasure each other, in every detail of your own beauty. I will of course use the name you wish, but there is no reason to be bitter about a slip of the tongue.”

“And yet you don’t deny attraction to Feanaro. Even if I am not a replacement, you still desire him.”

“If Feanaro were here and willing, I would still choose you.”

“But it would be a choice, weighing two options that you want but you can only have one.”

“Feanor was bright like a fire, hot and changing but impossible to spend long near. You glitter like a jewel, always having a new angle, reflecting your own beauty and that of all around you, brilliant and clear. You’re right that fire can fascinate, but I cannot hold it and do not wish to.”

“Fine, I accept that you are not wishing for another. I still don’t want to hear my father’s name in the midst of pleasure.”

“I see your point. I am not ashamed to associate with you, but still I wouldn’t like to explain our relationship to Finwe. ”

“My father wouldn’t disown me as long as I give him a reason he can approve of.”

“Oh? And what reason would he possibly accept for you fucking your great-uncle, and your esteemed grandfather’s greatest rival?”

“Blackmail,” Celebrimbor said with a sharp grin. “I seduced you so that I could steer the political fate of the Noldor. If our relationship got out, everyone would lose their trust in you, either for screwing an evil Feanorian kinslayer or you taking advantage of my youth and naivety. So you have to advance my plans or else I’ll ruin you before the whole court. And of course with so much time around you, I will learn of the secret plots you doubtless have against my family.”

The closest Celebrimbor had come to using their relationship for political favors was asking for a room on the same hall and a private smithy. Every other agenda was argued before the whole court, never spoken of in their rooms either before or after it was resolved.

“Would Curufin really ask you to sacrifice yourself so completely to his goals, using your most intimate moments and actions to cynically further an agenda?”

“It’s less than Grandfather required of him and my uncles - it would last a few decades or centuries, rather than until the end of Arda. But he wouldn’t actually approve the plan. It would make me look weak for one, to play the victim of your unwanted lecherous advances, the young innocent gave in before the crown and the personality rather than fight back. Since this is my first time before the court, I must show them I am to be respected and feared.”

“That is a lot to ask from someone in a new situation.”

“Perhaps, but my father has always expected me to be exceptional.”
