Pori Aval Pakora



The idea came as I was thinking what to make for our weekend tea time snack and saw a jar of puffed rice in my dry pantry and next to it a jar of red aval. Decided to combine both for making pori aval pakora as it was raining and hot,crispy pakora sounds perfect to go along with our hot chai.

This is kid's friendly recipe too as, no one could resist the crispy, crunchy pakora served with chutney or ketchup dipping.  Dandelions love this pakora as much as i did. Easy, simple and super crispy pakora which can be prepared in a jiffy especially if a guest drop by last minute. 

Ingredients 

1 cup puffed rice

1/2 cup red aval,roasted

1/2 besan flour

1 large red onion 

2 sprigs curry leaves,chopped

1 tsp chopped ginger

2 green chillies,chopped

1/2 tsp chilly powder

1 tbsp coriander powder 

1/2 tsp fennel powder 

1/4 tsp cumin seeds

Salt to taste 

Water as needed 

Vegetable oil for deep frying 

Methods

In a large bowl add all the ingredients except water and oil. 

Mix well and gradually add water to form a stiff dough. 

Heat oil in a wolf,  pinch small portion of the dough and deep fry till golden over a medium flame. 

Transfer to a plate lined with kitchen towel to drain excess oil.

Serve with ketchup or chutney with hot chai.
