Aval Sharkkara Nanachathu

There is nothing regal in it. Its the simplest of a breakfast or teatime dish which is very common in south india. It tastes awesome when served with sliced bananas. You can add a little bit of ghee before serving for an added flavour.

Ingredients

Aval / thin brown rice flakes-1 3/4 cup
Coconut (grated)'1 cup
Jaggery / sharkara-1/2 cup
Sugar-1 teaspoon
Roasted sesame seeds-1 teaspoon
Cardamom powder-1/4 teaspoon
Dry ginger powder-a pinch
Cumin powder -a pinch

Method

In a plate or bowl, add all the above mentioned ingredients, and mix well with your hands. 
Crush and mix with your hands nicely till you find moisture from coconut and jaggery.  Keep mixing until everything gets mixed well.  This will take about 3 – 4 minutes, depending on the quality of coconut.  Enjoy!
