Aval Uppuma

The unique method of cooking aval uppuma has been passed through 3 generations in my family and I do follow the same receipe without veggies. It is an easy… 10 minutes tiffin for my husband while I ran out of varieties.

  

Ingredients:

Aval (poha) – 1 cup soaked

Coconut – ¼ cup (grated)

Salt – to taste

To temper:

Oil – 2 tsp

Urad dal – 1 tsp

Mustard seeds – ½ tsp

Curry leaves – a sprig

Red chilli – 1

Method:

Heat oil in a pan/cheenachutty - add the items listed under ‘to temper’ in the order given and allow to splutter. Add grated coconut with salt and sauté for 2 minutes to get the flavor. Now reduce the flame and add soaked aval, mix quickly to get an evenly mixing of aval and grated coconut. Cook for 2 minutes and switch off the flame. Serve hot with black tea.

Note:

Nowadays aval which we get from shops must be cleaned and while cleaning obviously it gets soaked, no need to soak too long. Soak aval in water just before heating pan.
