Aval nanachathu is an all time favorite of malayalees. It is a traditional snack which is healthy and filling. Jaggery and freshly grated coconut is mixed into the aval with 2 or 3 cardamons. You can have this either mixed with ripe plantain or on its own. There is no need for salt as there is slight salt in the jaggery. This is an excellent snack for kids as well as adults which can be prepared in 5 min. I am sending this to Eat well Live Well event going on in Taste of Pearl City.
Ingredients:
Matta(brown) rice flakes: 250 gms.
Freshly grated coconut: 1/2 cup or as needed.
Jaggery grated: 1/2 cup or as needed.
Cardamons: 2 or 3.
Method:
In a wide vessel put in the riceflakes, coconut scraping, jaggery, and cardamons. Mix well with hand as it will release the moisture from the jaggery and coconut. Serve by mixing ripe plaintain into the aval or by itself.
