Crispy, spicy thin flattened rice is a tea/coffee time snack and also it is made using very less oil and includes all the healthy stuff in it
Suitable for people of any age group. I say it’s one of the Karnataka special snack, that too specially people from malenadu (my native place), coastal Karnataka and north Karnataka love to relish this snack anytime any day
Today sharing my method of making this yummy, crunchy, spicy chooda avalakki recipe, in which I have used thin red rice flakes instead of white colored one

- Now add in roasted gram and rice flakes (let the heat be on low only) and combine everything well so that the masala gets into the rice flakes
- Turn off the heat, remove from the stove, allow it to cool completely, then store in an air tight container
