Masale avalakki rotti or poha roti recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. Avalakki rotti or poha roti is very easy to prepare and is very tasty. Aval rotti is prepared using thin poha, rice flour, onion, coconut, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, curry leaves, green chillies and salt. This masale rotti or spicy roti is an instant and healthy breakfast recipe.
I have used thin avalakki or poha in this avalakki rotti recipe. Using thin poha makes rinsing and mashing process easy. However if you want to use thick poha or gatti avalakki, then make a fine powder of it, soak it for few minutes if needed and then continue with this recipe.
