Mangalore Breakfast - Rave uppittu, khara avalakki and sihi avalakki

Monday, November 19, 2018
Top L to R : Chewda, Khara-avalakki, Sihi-avalakki & center is Rava uppittu

During family gathering during a family event, this combination is common for breakfast around South-Canara / Mangalore-Udupi area. Because though it is multiple dishes, it is easy to prepare when there are 30 to 50 family members in the house. Well, when we were young, didn't like it much,  would make bit of fuss and demand for regularly breakfast like - variety of dosas, rotti, idle, shavige, Kotte kadubu, panpathali .... list is endless which are all time-consuming dishes. But now, it is nostalgic. I just prepare to get back all the good old memories of family get together. This is also makes great summer picnic food. See the recipes below

Rava uppittu (aka Sajjige in south-canara)
Sihi avalakki (sweet poha) aka Bajil
Khara avalakki (spicy poha)
Chewda (dry savory poha)


In this post, I will focus on Khara Avalakki. 
I have two variations of recipe for preparing it.
