Sorghum flakes/Jowar poha/jolada avalakki is processed following “the process standardized for flakes preparation using flakes machine”, which is one of the millet and has a very good taste and is rich in essential health nutrients.
Particularly I’m using it since last 3 years, which I saw in one of the stores in Gandhi bazar (namma Bengaluru), during my visit. It is very much easily available in “namma Bengaluru” (Gandhi bazar circle & D V G road).
Sorghum is considered to be an ancient grain or super grain (due to their high level of protein), meaning the grain has remained unchanged by modern science and breeding technologies over time. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, and is naturally gluten-free.
One of the easiest method of eating this flakes is add some sugar/jaggery and grated fresh coconut, mix well and its ready to eat or one more method is this below recipe which I’m going to share with you all today. We make kharada (Spicy) avalakki (poha) in this same method, so I have just tried to put this together in the same way.
There is no any particular measurement for adding either peanuts, coconut, roasted gram or spices, you can add it generously as per your taste, but just to help the learners/beginners I have mentioned the measurement of the ingredients.
