Aval (flattened rice) nanachhathu

Come evening and we are drawn towards tea and snacks. Else it is as if something is greatly amiss. This is all the more a must when returning from schools and colleges and even being at workplace is no exception to simply go and have a hot cup of tea or coffee and a crispy crunchy bite of that something special. This snack is often awaited for like the surprise of the day. Such is the anticipation! :D :D

Aval (flattened rice) nanachathu is an old-time favorite akin to black and white movies. That is how long it has been in existence. A very filling snack with the goodness of fresh coconut :D :D It is so easy to prepare and is perfect to be seen with on an evening snack array :D :D


What I used
  1. Crispy dried aval: 2 cups
  2. Freshly grated coconut: 1 cup
  3. Sugar or jaggery: 1/2 cup
  4. Cardamom pods: 5 (optional)
How I made it
  1. In a bowl, mix all the above ingredients well such that the aval soaks in the moisture of the freshly grated coconut and softens. 
  2. Keep the mixture for about half an hour before the war cry is hurled ;D
Too simple isn't it? ;D
