Huli in Kannada means sour and Avalakki as you know is Poha or the flatten/beaten rice. Huli Avalakki is Authentic South Indian recipe often prepared during festivals. Even this is prepared as Prasadam in many temples. I recently prepared this for Shivarathri. You can always prepare this dish when you have a small gathering at home. Your guests will love this light snack. I can say this Huli Avalakki is mostly sour to taste, but also as you go on eating you can taste mild spicy and sweetness.
