Dahi Poha/Thayir Aval/Curd beaten rice/Mosaru Avalakki (Using healthier Red variety)


Dahi Poha/Thayir Aval/Curd beaten rice/Mosaru Avalakki (Using healthier Red variety)




































This Dahi Poha/Thayir Aval/Curd beaten rice/Mosaru Avalakki is easy to make breakfast recipe and the speciality about this recipe is that a healthier red variety is being used.

Alternatively, you can use white Poha to make the same recipe. When I run out of dli/dosa batter in busy morning schedule, then the quickest and healthiest break fast recipe that saves my time is Curd poha. 

If you are used to white poha, it might need some "getting used to" time as the red ones are little coarser in texture than the white ones. But, it is definitely not hard to switch to healthier poha as it gives more nutrients. Beaten rice/Poha is already healthy, but opting red one is good because red rice doesn't undergo much of processing so its nutrients are preserved. If you feel it is not gonna work out, no issues, this recipe is already healthy as we are using less oil and good bacteria rich Curd.

  • 1 Cup Red Poha/Beaten rice/Flattened Rice/Aval/Avalakki
  • 1/2 Cup Warm Milk
