Avial (അവിയല്‍ ) is a Malayali Rock Band formed in 2003. Its members are professional musicians who have played in various bands in India and have done tours around the world independently. The name of the band is taken from a South Indian dish Aviyal, which is traditionally a part of the Sadya, and made with a mixture of contrasting vegetables. The band has mixed to perfection folk music from Kerala and alternative rock, making the band name very suitable.
