Kerala Tourism Tweets Photo Of 'Aviyal'; Get Brutally Trolled By Unconvinced Malayalis

When it comes to food, especially the specialty or staples of different regions, there’s a certain sanctity to it. They are classic dishes preserved across centuries. But a quintessential dish from the southern state of Kerala has caused a furore on Twitter. 

The dish in question is Aviyal! It is a thick mixture of vegetables and coconut, seasoned with coconut oil and curry leaves.

However, the Kerala Tourism's recent tweet on Aviyal has caused quite a furore among the Malayali community. Here's what they shared on social media. 

Little did they know that their version of the 'Aviyal' would invite trouble!

What followed was a brutal trolling session. The Malayali community on Twitter refused to accept it as their staple. The main point of criticism was that the vegetables looked too raw and that the photo remotely resembled the dish.

Some even trolled the Tourism handle, thanking them for mentioning it was 'aviyal' or else they would have thought of it as a salad. Within hours, there was a flurry of replies to the tweet.
