Its a traditional and popular evening snack of Kerala and my favourite too. Most of the Kerala snack recipes ask for rice flour and coconut since we have enormous paddy fields and coconut palms to provide the raw materials. Avalose podi is a combination product of roasting raw rice flour, grated coconut,cumin seeds and kalonji.Give it a try and enjoy!!!
