Yet another healthy, steamed traditional sweet dish from Karnataka, ie… beaten rice/rice flakes/flattened rice/Poha/Avalakki fudge, using jaggery, grated fresh coconut along with beaten rice.

Thick quality beaten rice is used to prepare this sweet fudge. Actually I don’t prepare this dish very often, because we prepare & consume sihi avalakki (sweet avalakki) using the same set of ingredients and that is very quick to make, where as… avalakki/poha haalbai requires a little bit of stirring and grinding as a process and more over both tastes similar !!

So once in a way only I prefer to prepare this particular dish. Goes very well, when paired with any kind of steamed dumplings. Earlier I have posted the recipe of whole wheat/Godhi haalbayi on my blog
