Gojjavalakki / Huli Avalakki (Crushed and Spiced Poha)

A tea time/ breakfast dish for you guys this time.... This is a very simple and easy to make dish. This one, again, gets its name from the tamarind that's added to it!! Though very easy to make, this dish needs a little bit of pre- planning. You need to give about 30-45 mins of soaking time for the poha. So, I wont call this an instant dish... But yes, it is worth the wait!! :)

Am sending this over to Sig for the JFI-Tamarind event that she is hosting this month. Thanx Sig for hosting and Thanx Indira from Mahanandi, for having come up with the wonderful JFI idea!!

Ingredients:

1 cup Thick Poha

1 tbsp Jaggery

1 tsp Tamarind paste

1-2 tsp Rasam powder (home made or readymade, any brand of your choice)

Salt as per taste

1-2 strands Cilantro, chopped finely

1-2 tsp Oil

1/2 tsp Mustard seeds

3-4 Curry leaves

1-2 tsp Peanuts

A pinch of Hing

1/2 tsp Chana-Urad Dal mixture

Method:

  1. Pulse the poha in the blender a couple of times, so that it is crushed coarsely; Make sure not to powder it too smooth; Keep aside.
  2. Mix jaggery, tamarind, salt and rasam powder in 2 cups of water and place on stove on low heat; Keep stirring until all the jaggery and salt dissolves in. Note: You do not have to really boil the water here. Mild heating should be enough. This spiced water should taste a little strong.... in the sense that, there should be a little extra of all ingredients.
  3. Pour the spiced water on the crushed poha little by little; Mix continuously. Add enough of it to make the poha damp; DO NOT add too much spiced water and make a paste out of the poha. The poha should still be separate and remain in crumbles.
  4. Cover and let soak for about 15-20 mins; If you feel the poha is too dry, ad little more of the spiced water and let soak for another 20-30 mins. The poha would have absorbed the spices well, by now.
  5. Adjust the sweetness and salt according to your taste.
  6. Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds; Add hing, curry leaves, peanuts and dal mixture;Once done, add to poha; Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve.

Prep Time: About 1 hr;

Serves: 1-2 people;

Looks delicious like Puliyogarai. For Avalakki, usually I just rinse under hot water for a minute, squeeze out water, makes it soft.
I made your Huli Kuttida pudi Brinjal, was yummy and linked at FH now. Thanks for that!:))

sra said...

That looks really attractive! But tell me, was 2 tsp tamarind paste enough to give it that colour? But I suppose the jaggery also contributed.

Lakshmi said...

yummo..I love huli avalakki. Tastes great. I was not bloghopping past few days so have missed many posts of yours.

Sia said...

its been ages since i had this. its my appa's fav evening snack and amma makes it for him once in a week.
read ur comment abt sago kichidi. the trick is to soak sago over-night with just enough water. i took a wide vessal to soak sagu. do give it a try and i am sure u will be happy with the end result. nupur's recipe is a winner.

It is too good yar

Shaila Rao said...

Hey Ramya, you may also add finely roasted and dry ground - one large spoon(soutu) White Til/Yellu, 1/2 large spoon (1/2 soutu) Coriander, 1 small tea spoon jeera and 10-15 pepper corns. Even though all these ingredients are there in Rasam powder, if you still add these separately after you mix with gojju, it will be very very tasty. Try it!
