Crispy aval snack
Ingredients:
1 cup flattened rice (aval), preferably white aval, though matta aval works too .
½ cup rice flour (the kind used for pathiri or noolappam) .
2 cups water .
Salt to taste
.
1 teaspoon ghee
.
A pinch of turmeric powder (approximately 2 pinches)
½ teaspoon chili powder (adjust to your spice preference)
A little extra salt for seasoning
Oil for frying
Preparation
Grind the flattened rice into a fine powder, ensuring there are no coarse particles . Transfer it to a bowl .Add the rice flour to the powdered flattened rice and mix well until thoroughly combined .In a pan, bring two cups of water to a boil. Add salt and ghee, and allow them to melt completely into the water .Reduce the flame, then add the flattened rice and rice flour mixture to the boiling water. Mix continuously to avoid lumps, similar to preparing dough for pathiri . Increase the flame and continue mixing until the mixture comes together into a smooth dough .Once the mixture forms a cohesive dough, turn off the flame and let it cool slightly .
Lightly grease your hands with oil and knead the dough while it’s still warm .Shape the dough into your desired form. The video shows shaping them into long, stick-like pieces, similar to “kurukuru” snacks . You can also make them into small balls .Heat oil in a pan over high flame .Add the shaped dough pieces to the hot oil. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry on high flame until golden brown and crispy. Avoid stirring immediately after adding them; wait until they start to firm up [04:08]. Frying takes some time, and the oil’s bubbling will subside when the snacks are fully cooked and crispy .In a separate bowl, combine turmeric powder, chili powder, and a little salt. Mix well .Once the fried snacks are ready, transfer them to a bowl and sprinkle the spice mixture over them. Toss well to coat evenly .
