Jolada avalakki mixture - sorghum jar snack
Ingredients
Main ingredient
- 3 cups sorghum flakes (store bought)
flavorants
- 1 tsp cooking oil
- 1/4 tsp mustard seeds
- 1/4 tsp Urad Dal ,skinned black gram
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp red chilli powder (vary as per taste)
- salt to taste
- 1 pinch Asafoetida
- 6-7 curry leaves
Nuts and seeds
- 1/4 cup almonds Add more if you like
- 1/4 cup cashewnuts
- 2 tbsp melon seeds
- 2 tsp sesame seeds
Instructions
- Keep all the ingredients ready
- Set a heavy bottomed pan on medium heat
- When the pan is hot add the mustard seeds and the urad dal
- As the mustrad begins to splutter, add the nut and roast them well
- When the nuts are crunchy, add the curry leaves to crisp
- Follow this with salt, asafoetida, chilli powder, turmeric and saute for a quick minute. ( be careful as the chilli powder tends to burn)
- Add the jowar flakes and mix well, so the flavourings coat the flakes well.
- Remove from heat and allow it to stay in the heat of the pan for 5 minutes
- Transfer to a dry airtight container to keep.
- Use a dry bowl to remove the necessary amount. Any bit of moisture will make it go soggy.
- Serve with a cup of tea or topping a salad.
Notes
Vary the nuts and seeds as per what you have, you can add peanuts, pepitas, macadamia nuts, sunflower seeds or any other.
The chilli powder I have used is a mild one, so vary the amount based on the heat you can tolerate.
