Gojju Avallakki | Huli Avalakki with step by step photos and video. Instant Gojju Avalakki is something which reminds me of my childhood.As a kid ,I used to love this a lot as it was not prepared at my home 🙁 , I always used to go to temple with the expectations of getting this Gojju Avalakki ,as Prasada 🙂 🙂 . I had a neighbour ,who used to prepare Gojju Avalakki as prasad during Janmashtami ,that taste of Gojju Avalakki still lingers on my tongue.
This is No Onion ,No Garlic recipe .There are 2 methods of doing Gojju Avalakki ,one is using Puliyogare mix and the other one is by using Tamarind juice and rasam powder or Sambar Powder.I do it the second way, as it is easy and tastes very delicious.
This recipe is shared from my neighbour , Girija Aunty to my Mom , 30 years before and till date We all at home follow the same recipe ,without any changes and every time I enjoy eating this. I’m feeling Nostalgic ……., while writing this .
Every month I fast on Shasti ,i.e,6th day after amavasya/new moon day and on those days ,after performing pooja ,Green Gram Usal , Black and White Chickpea Usal , Gojju Avalakki ,Sihi Avalakki , Sabudana vada , Sabudana Khichdi and Banana Rasayana are what we generally eat .

Notes
- Only Thick Quality Poha Works well for this Recipe.
- Be careful in adding water ,measure the ratio of water and add. If poha is very thick ,it may take up to 1 1/3 cups of water or else poha to water ratio will be 2 :1 .
- If you add less water , it will be very dry to eat , if you add more water it becomes soggy . So add water carefully ,as it depends on the quality of poha you use.
