    Aval Murukku or Poha Chakli is a savory rice-based snack made with rice flour and beaten rice or the thick poha. These are Jar snacks that you can make ahead for kids and stock.

    I have been wanting to make this aval murukku for a while, in fact, my murukku making is restricted to Deepavali along with Amma. Since Amma makes the best ones, I haven’t made any of these on my own. On top, I hardly ever get time to make these traditional snacks as my kids prefer cakes and chocolates for snacks.

    We love murukkus and Amma’s traditional murukkus taste awesome. I always wanted to try my hand on my own to make these and this BM#104 Sweets & Snacks, surely gave me a chance to do everything on my own.

    While there have been many dishes that Amma makes on her own and some I take her help, the Mega BMs are always researched a lot and done on my own in my space. Somehow we tend to give more time and effort to these Mega BM dishes, though the regular ones are equally important.

    So I was really happy with the way these murukkus all turned out. If you haven’t noticed, this week is all about rice-based deep-fried dishes, and all of them ended up being murukkus. I loved this addition of Aval or Poha as it lends a crispy texture to the final fried ones.

    Aval Murukku is made with the thick Poha and makes a delicious evening snack, while it's another popular vada on Spice your Life!

    How to make Aval Murukku

    Take the poha in a mixer jar and powder it and set it aside. Sieve and remove coarse pieces.
    Take the fried gram in the mixer and powder it well.
    Use homemade rice flour and sieve all the flours to remove coarse pieces.
    Take the flours in a wide bowl, add cumin seeds, red chili powder, butter, and salt.

      It is common to rely on our mothers when they are nearby and are ready to dish out delicious stuff for us. 🙂 My sister lives nearby my mother and she too goes to my mother for traditional and time taking dishes.
      This poha version sounds fantastic Valli. I think I need to pass on all the recipes with variations to my mother.
