Gojju Avalakki

Avalakki is commonly called as Beaten Rice (English) or Poha (in Noth India).
This recipe is a variation of Poha using Tamarind Paste. So its more tangy in taste.


Ingredients:

Avalakki -  4 cups
Tamarind - 1 lemon size
Jaggery (Powdered) - 1/2 cup
Sambar Masala - 2 tsp

Oil - 2 to 3 tsp
Mustard seeds - 2 tsp
Channa dal - 1 tsp
Black gram - 1 tsp
Turmeric - 1 tsp
Green chillies - 3
Groundnuts - 1/4 bowl
Coriander chopped - 2 tsp
Curry Leaves -  8-10
Salt to taste


Method:

Soak the Tamarind in enough water to make a thick paste. Add Jaggery and Sambar Masala to it.

Wash the Avalakki and soak it in water for 10 mins. Take oil in a pan and heat it. Add mustard seeds.
Once the mustard seeds begin to splutter, add channa dal and urad dal (black gram). Now add the groundnuts and the chillies. Once they are done add turmeric and curry leaves.

Strain the water from Avalakki and add it to the pan. Also add the Tamarind mix to the pan and mix well. Let it cook for 5 more minutes on low flame. Garnish it with coriander and serve.
