HuLi Avalakki/ Udupi style Spiced poha


Avalakki is considererd “shreshta”(rough translation: superior) to Lord Krishna. HuLi(literally sour/tangy) avalakki, is a sweet and tangy tasting avalakki - tasting very close to gojjavalakki. 

This is generally made during festival times as an evening snack along with some kadle usli(channa stir fry) and badam milk, for no-rice diets. In Kota community this is popularly made during engagement-ceremonies, or as one of the breakfast items during weddings.  

This is one of my favorite dishes. My mom makes it best, very close to the ones made by Adige battru(cooks in marriages) :)

This is her recipe. 

Do try!

Happy Krishnashtami!!

Rave guliyappa


Tried this easy, quick breakfast recipe recently - Rave guliyappa. Loved the taste. It tasted somewhat in between rave idli and rave dosa - more like crunchiness of dosa and softness of idlis put together. 

Something different from regular idli dosa. Easy recipe - just mix everything together and pour into guliyappa kallu, roast to crispiness and enjoy with some chutney. 

Do try!
