Gojju Avalakki / Huli Avalakki

Huli Avalakki is made with beaten rice. It can be called as podi aval upma in Tamil. I learnt this recipe from one of our family friends. This is one of the most popular Karnataka recipes. I have used thick variety of beaten rice to make this recipe. It is easy to make but delicious.  They  taste totally different  from  the aval  upma  or the poha  we  usually  make.

• In a mixie jar add beaten rice, rasam powder, turmeric powder, jaggery, salt. Grind everything into a coarse powder like semolina.
• Boil the water and add tamarind into it. Extract tamarind juice and filter it remove the dust. Keep it aside.
