Method

• Thoroughly combine rice flour, grated coconut, half of the cumin seeds and salt using your hands. Keep it aside for 1 hour.
• Heat a wide and heavy bottomed pan. Throw in the rest of the cumin seeds and lightly roast it.
• Add the rice flour and coconut mixture to the pan.
• Fry everything on medium heat, stirring continuously till it becomes a light brown colour.
• You will need to stir continuously so that the powder does not stick to the bottom of the pan.
• It will take at least 25-30 minutes for the powder to get roasted thoroughly. So, please be patient.
• Allow it to cool completely and store in airtight containers.

Note

• You can also use Frozen Shredded Coconut for making Avalos. Defrost the coconut and measure around 8 cups of shredded coconut.
• If you don’t like lumps in your Avalos Podi, you can powder it in a grinder.
