Ok let me tell you the recipe.

Avalose Podi

Recipe type: Snack

Cuisine: Kerala, South Indian

Serves: 4-5

Ingredients

• Raw Rice (Pachari) - 1 cup
• Grated coconut - 2 cups
• Cumin seeds (jeera) - 1/2 tsp
• Cardamom powder - 2 pinches
• Salt - 1¼ tsp

Method

1. Wash the rice in running tap water, till the water runs clear. Soak the rice in water for 2 hours. Drain the water and keep aside the rice in the strainer for 30-45 mins.
2. Grind the rice, without water to a coarse powder.No need to grind it into fine powder.
3. Add coconut to the ground rice powder and mix it with your fingers. Add cumin seeds,powdered cardamom and salt and mix well. Bring the mixture together and cover and keep it like that for 1 hr.
4. Take a wide, deep and heavy pan. Roast the mixture on low heat till it becomes golden brown. You need to stir continuously to ensure even browning of the mixture. It will take around 35-45 mins on low flame.[You can divide the mix and roast half at a time,if you dont have a big pan(uruli)].
5. Remove from fire and let it cool. Pulse it in the mixie for a few seconds to remove the lumps.
6. Store in an airtight container. You can keep it at room temp for 2-3 weeks.
7. Serve it with sugar and banana or  maple syrup.

Notes

• The ground rice powder should be coarse but not too rough and too smooth.
• Hear some music while sitirring or have some one else for helping you for stirring if you are making large quantity.
