Do you know any recipes with rice flakes?

There is nothing like chewing raw aval freshly pounded when you visit your grandparents in your ancestral village !

AVAL UPMA

Thin Aval
Oil
Kadugu
Broken ulundhu and kadalai paruppu
Green chilles - cut
Onion – finely chopped (sambar onion will enhance taste)
Curry + malli leaves
Salt to taste

Pour water in the required aval and wash (do not smash) twice atleast, and drain the water.
This is enough to make the aval damp and soft.

In a wok, add oil + kadugu + paruppus + chillies and then onion + salt and fry. Then add the aval and mix well for few minutes. Sprinkle little water if it is very dry. Switch off flame after 3 mins.
Add chopped curry and malli leaves.

Aval upma is ready in few mins.

I thought Aval was supposed to be served 'Cold'
back in SL we make aval 'Only' on 'Auspicious days' such as pongal, new year etc, my mum always made 'cold' aval
