Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Avalakki Upkari / Hachida Avalakki is a popular snack from North Karnataka. Thin flakes of flattened rice is mixed with coconut, cucumber, onion, tomato, chilly powder to form a tasty snack. It is commonly made for breakfast or as a evening snack.

This is a humble snack which has never withered with time. It’s been passed on through generations, the only change is the variety of dressing that we put over it. Onion was hardly used in the earlier days. Now, onion and sev mixture, are added to it along with other ingredients. It is ideal as a quick snack or on those days when you do not want to cook. It is also good for fasting menu sans onion.

Children like avalakki upkari and most often, it is our Sunday breakfast. One can customise this snack as per their need. Grated carrot, finely cut capsicum may be added, onion can be avoided and the amount of coconut that goes into it is as per the liking of the indivdual.

A variety of mixture or sev may be added to it. This is one of the snacks I relish anytime.

Yumm! Love this; a favorite in our house 🙂 Being from Mangalore, we add a coconut masala with flavors like coriander and sambar powder! We call it poha upkari eaten with some sev, finely chopped onions etc. Such a nostalgic and wonderful share dear!
