Kaavailaan

Kaavailaan is a traditional South Indian dish, originating from the state of Tamil Nadu. It is a spicy and tangy vegetable curry, typically prepared with a combination of vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and green beans. The dish is known for its unique flavor profile, which is achieved through the use of a blend of spices, including mustard seeds, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, and red chili peppers.

The curry is often served with steamed rice or roti, and is popular among vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike. Kaavailaan is a versatile dish that can be customized with different vegetables based on availability and personal preference. It is a staple in Tamil Nadu and is often served during festivals and special occasions. The dish is also popular in other parts of South India, where it is known by different names such as kaavailan or kaavailan curry.
