Generally in Avalakki oggarane one cannot skip onions. Onions is one of the main taste giving ingredients to the dish. But this particular recipe is made without onions, without impacting the taste much. The chef uses a paste of green chilies and coconut, instead of adding them separately, and roasts it nicely, which gives this dish a unique flavor.
Avalakki can be made this way for festivals, also for no rice diets.
Enjoy!
Happy Dussehra!
Kaayi Sukrunde is one of my all time favorite sweets. It is basically made for thithi/shraaddha in our community. It is coincidental that I am putting this in pitru paksha. VaDe, Paayasa and Sukrunde is standard in every shraadha. Hence my mom never made it at home as regular sweet. Recently got to know that people make it as devi prasada too. I have to check if this is the case in our community too.
Anyways, this particular recipe I found online(link given below) was spot on. My mom also gave me certain tips, which I will update later, or probably make a different post. Sukrundes stayed crunchy even after few hours.
