Get the Perfect Texture ft. Atomberg Mixer Grinder

  • Now, ready the 500-ml chutney jar. 
  • Add a bowl of poha to it.

  • Now, add the coarsely textured avalakki/ poha to the mixture. 
  • Mix well until the avalakki soaks all the mixture water. 

Let’s Get Up to Speed for the Final Steps

  • Put up a frying pan on the stove and heat some cooking oil in it. 
  • Add mustard & chana dal, 1 teaspoon of peeled peanuts, and some washed curry leaves to the oil. Let them roast for a minute.
  • Add the whole avalakki & tamarind mixture to the frying pan with the roasted ingredients. 
  • One more time, give them a good mix, and they will be ready! 
  • Serve it on the serving plate and garnish it with grated coconut. 

Tips/ Tricks 

  • If you are not able to find Puliyogare powder used as an ingredient for the preparation, you can also use rasam powder or sambhar powder as an alternative. 
  • Try to ensure that you use the thick poha, not medium or thin ones, as they dissolve entirely in the water. That makes the consistency of the dish less likeable. 
  • If you like the tangy (sweet and sour) taste of the tamarind mixture, you can go ahead with jaggery. However, if you don’t like the sweet tones in Gojji Avalakki, you are welcome to adjust the ingredients to suit your taste. 

For Gojji Avalakki, you need the perfect coarse texture, which is ensured by the Atomberg Mixer Grinder’s ‘Coarse Mode’.
