Aval Kozhukattai 

What to make for Breakfast is a question that hangs before me like every day. So I am on hunt for breakfast recipes.

My mom makes this often and I also found it here. It is pretty filling and simple to make. If you want you can have it as Upma too and it tastes great.

I have also given the recipe for the Garlic-Chilly Chutney which tastes great with this Kozhukattai.

Flat Rice/Aval/Poha - 1 Big Cup
Onion - 1 (Finely Chopped)

Curry leaves - 2
Asafoetida/Hing - A pinch
Water - 1.5 Cups
