Gojjawalaki - Karnataka special Pohe recipe

 



Gojjawalaki - gojju + Awalaki - Karnataka dish of Pohe / rice flakes. 

Gojju means - spicy tangy sweet paste 

Awalaki - Pohe / rice flakes 

The Gojju in this dish is nothing but a mixture of water , tamarind extract , Jaggery , rassam masala , salt , turmeric.


 

1 cup medium thick Poha - pulse it on a blender to a texture you see in the picture. 

Mix all the ingredients of the Gojju together ( Spices - take the quantity as per the taste which suits your palette) I keep it little higher on spice and sweet, little low on tangy taste ) 

For 1 cup of rice flakes , use 1.5 cups of water and mix everything in the water except underlined above.

Once you blend the rice flakes add it to this water. 

Mix well. Keep aside for 15-20 min covered with a lid.

All the water will be absorbed by rice flakes and they will puff up. 

Use fork to separate the mixture and it will be of crumble texture. 

Now, make a tadaka - pour little oil in a kadai - Once heated, add Urid daal , Chana daal, peanuts , red chillies , asafoetida , mustard seeds. 

Pour it on the Poha mixture or if you did tadaka in a big kadai - add the Poha mixture to this kadai and mix all well. 

Add chopped coriander leaves before serving. 

It is served cold - so perfect for a meet up / pot luck.
