Aval , it is the malayalam word for Beaten Rice or Rice Flakes. We commonly use Red/Brown Aval in Kerala. Aval Unda, Aval Dosa, Aval Velayichathu (Sweetened Rice Flakes)and Aval Nanachathu are the common dish we make using rice flakes. In north India, they usually use a different variety of this, called "Poha".
I don't know whether this Aval Upma is commonly made, but this is a usual breakfast dish in my house, and is served with shallow fried ripe plantain in ghee.This is my son Sampath's favourite...
So here's is the recipe for Aval Upma....
