Puli aval recipe, Tamarind poha, puli upma, Easy breakfast recipe
Puli Aval Recipe or Tamarind poha is super simple to make and taste so good. I am a big puliyodharai fan(Tamarind rice) I can eat it for one whole week. But since it has rice in it and the quantity I eat is really huge. I just can’t stop controling my intake when I see puliyodharai. So if I have craving for tamarind rice but still if I want to eat healthy and in small portion I switch to Puli aval. Since it gets ready in 10 mins and I won’t have to worry about the heavy intake. Poha / Aval is very healthy and rich in fiber and we won’t gain weight or feel heavy easily. Its very tasty just like our regular puliyodharai.
Making breakfast with aval/Poha is very easy and you don’t have to compromise in taste. It’s healthy, simple and tasty what else do we need. Making aval based recipe would be easy for work going women and also easy for lunch box recipe. My husband loves all kinds of recipe made using poha/ Aval. I personally like this puli aval and sweet aval a lot. I have Aval Upma/ Poha upma also in my website. You can read the health benefit of poha/Aval online and enjoy any recipe with it.
My cousin makes lot of recipes with aval. She even used to make milkshake and lots of desserts using Aval. I love Aval Idli and Aval cutlet and mom used to make aval dosa and some healthy desserts too. I make puli semiya, puli idiyappam anything that has that tangy taste in them. I love to try lots of new varieties in puli.My hubby is not a big fan of tamarind based recipes, but he also loves this. If you like anything pulipu then you will be very much satisfied with this yummy tasting puli aval.
