Shilpa,
I read the way you prepare Huli Avalakki. But I wonder this recipe belongs to which style, I mean Kannadiga or Tamilian. Becuause if it’s Kannadiga style you have to use Turmeric powder while preparing the mix of Avalakki, Tamarind & Jaggery. And the main ingredient missed in your recipe was Coconut masala(cocnut grinded with mustard seeds) without which I beleive this Huli Avalakki is incomplete. I really enjoyed your other recipes like Saboodana Kichidi. Thanks

Shilpa: Sujata, there are many different ways of making any dish. I have used just one way.

hi,
it is real nice getting to know different ways in whih a particular dish can be made. i will try this . Can we use buttermilk instead of tamarind?

Shilpa: I think only tamarind will suit this dish. With buttermilk, this might become a totally different tasting dish.

hi,
Is this the same we get in Dharmasthala?I just love the poha they give there at a tea shop (Trupthi,I think).
