    Avarekalu Mixture

    Avarekalu Mixture | Vaal Namkeen is a shallow fried snack made using Hyacinth Bean. This bean is also referred as Field Bean or Surti Papdi. Avarekalu or Field Bean is much loved Bean in South Karnataka , especially around regions of Bangalore and Mysore. Avarekalu is seasonal and is available during winter season. During this season one can find Avarekalu from Idli , Dosa , Pulao , Bisibelebath , Upma , Roti , Namkeens , sweets and halwa too . Sarcastically it's referred as Raining Avarekalu everywhere.

    Avarekalu Mixture is basically a namkeen ,where de skin avarekalu is fried in oil ,mixed with fried peanuts , dry coconut , fried gram and tossed in with spices. This is a crunchy flavourful namkeen of the season . Avarekalu Mixture is my all time favourite and Mom never misses to do this for me during this winter season.

    Making this avarekalu mixture is not at all difficult but the real tedious task is to peel the outer skin of Hyacinth Bean . Need to soak the avarekalu/field bean in water for minimum 6-8 hrs . Then press the bean between the fingers to remove the skin of the bean. Its fried in oil and then tossed with spices.

    Other namkeen recipes on blog are : Congress Kadale Beeja , Baked Bhakarwadi and Roasted Makhana
