Beaten rice/avalakki rotti| Poha Thalipeeth
This can be made plain or by adding vegetables such as cucumber, carrot, onion etc using either white beaten rice or red beaten rice or both in equal quantity. It can be done in two ways… One is by soaking the beaten rice and the other by grinding it into powder. It comes out well in both the ways and it takes very less oil and filling as well as healthy.
