Grains and Greens

Red Beaten Rice/Aval/Poha - with Veggies

Take 1 small cup of unpolished red beaten rice per person and run it very quickly through the blender to just break it into medium sized granules. To this, add a cup of grated coconut and finely chopped tomatoes. Sprinkle just enough water or coconut water to soak and mix well. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

Candidate vegetables for adding into the mix:
  • Grated Beets
  • Grated Carrots
  • Sprouts
  • Grated radish
  • Grated Cucumber
  • Anything else you like!
Add one or more of these to the mix.
Add rock salt and roasted cummin-pepper powder to taste.
Set aside for another 10 minutes so the taste blends well and serve.

  1. The same recipe can be adapted to samai aval or any of the millet avals. I found millet avals at Verdure Organics in Velachery in Chennai. So people can get it from there.
