Crispy, spicy thin roasted flattened rice or avalakki chooda 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

Ingredients : measuring cup used 250 ml

Thin rice flakes, red/white – 4 cups
Ground nut – 1/2 cup
Roasted gram/hurigadale – 1/2 cup
Dry coconut flakes – 1/2 cup
Sugar – 1 tsp (I have put raw cane sugar)
Salt – to taste (I have put about a heaped 1 tsp of salt)

For tempering :

Oil – 2 tbsp + 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds – 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves – 2 strings
Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
Cumin powder – 1/2 tsp
Coriander seeds powder – 1/2 tsp
Red chili powder (less spicy/hot, which gives out color) – 1 tsp
Red chili powder (spicy/hot) – 1/2 tsp
Hing – 1/8 tsp

PROCEDURE :

Dry roast the rice flakes to remove the moisture in it (you can also sun dry it)
Heat oil in a pan, add in mustard seeds, ground nut (you can use pre-roasted ground nut also) coconut flakes and curry leaves, roast everything un till light brown on medium heat, do carefully – do not burn

Reduce the heat and add in all the spice powders, salt, sugar and hing, combine everything well

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
