Red Aval Mixture Recipe / Guilt Free Diwali Snacks

Red Aval Mixture recipe

Red Aval Mixture Recipe / Poha Chivda Recipe is a crispy and yummy snack, a nice alternative to deep fried snacks. They are very healthy as I used red aval (rice flakes) and pan fried all the ingredients. There are two varieties of rice flakes, one is thin variety and other one is thick variety. Here I used thin rice flakes to make this wonderful mixture. If you don’t have snacks but if you want something to munch for evening snacks, you should try this guilt free snack (aval mixture), they are very easy to make in very less time and they are good for you. Even beginner and bachelor can make this simple mixture for diwali. Also check cornflakes mixture recipe in my blog.

MASAL VADAI RECIPE / KADALAI PARUPPU VADAI / AAMA VADAI

masal vadai recipe

Masal Vadai / Masala vadai / paruppu vadai / aama vadai is a popular South Indian addictive snack.  In south Indian homes, during festival occasions, they make either urad dal vada or paruppu vadai. To make this masal vadai, you need channa dal and other ingredients like fennel seeds, ginger, garlic, onion and coriander leaves . I am not a big fan for this vadai, but I like it so once in a while I make it at home. Two yrs back in my in-laws house,  they had a cook, she makes the best tea kadai style masala vadai for mor kulambu. I would say it was a tastiest vadai I ever tasted in my life. Next time, when I meet her, I should get a recipe from her. Also I love the masala vadai in Kovai Express train, which runs from chennai to coimbatore. When the vendor sells vadai and cross our seats, the aroma itself makes us hungry. We often travel in that train, when ever we travel, my father buy that vadai for us, it will be palm size, big vadai with lots of onions, both my parents love that paruppu vadai. We usually we don’t eat snacks from outside but this is an exception. This aama vadai goes well with evening tea or as side dish for any variety rice like lemon rice or tamarind rice or tomato rice or curd rice. If you got leftover vadai, you can make an another fabulous dish called vada curry which I have posted in my blog, check that for recipe. It goes well with idly or dosa.

Notes
If you are a spicy lover, add lot of green chilly in place of red chilly.
Rice flour is added for binding.
Adding ginger, asafoetida and fennel seeds is for easy digestion.
If your vada batter is dry, sprinkle little water.
If your batter is wet, add little more rice flour.
Always cook in a medium flame. If you cook in high flame, the inner part won’tt get cooked and it tastes raw.
If you have mint, you can add that too.
