Aval-Mixer

#AvalMixer : #Mixer is a famous savory done in India in many ways and in different combinations. The seasoning of mixer also varies from region to region. Generally omapudi, karabhoondi, maida biscuits are prepared separately and then added together with fried pea nuts, fried gram, curry leaves,fried cashew nuts, etc.,... All these items are mixed together with seasonings like red chilly powder, asafoetida powder, salt & sugar. Some people also use chat masala powder, amchur powder, etc.,.. for seasoning the mixer.
The above things in a mixer can be replaced [ or can be included ] by #avalpori [ puffed beaten rice or puffed rice flakes ], pori [ puffed rice ], fried horse gram, corn flakes etc.,... N number of different combinations of mixer can be prepared with varied tastes & flavour.
Here I prepared a mixer from aval pori and omapodi. Aval pori [ puffed aval or chivda ] can be bought from puffed rice makers.
Now let us see the preparation.
