AVAL(POHA) BHEL SERVED IN BAKED SPRING ROLL SHEETS.

    A super quick and easy snack made using poha | aval, called as Aval bhel, served on Baked spring roll sheets. You can serve this on krackjack biscuits or even on the top of papdis too.  This is one of the longest title i have given to my posts. To give a explanation about this recipe ,i can say it is a perfect kid friendly snack and can be served as a starter in parties and even it is a best way to impress the guests.

  • Chop the onion and tomato finely.
  • In a small pan add oil and throw in the mustard seeds and red chilli , curry leaves and asafoetida.(Don’t search curry leaves here, i was running out of that on the day i made it).
  • When it splutters transfer it to the aval/poha mixture and mix it nicely with your hands.

  • Mean while we can start baking the spring roll sheets.
  • Thaw the sheets and take out a single sheet.
  • I used the small one. Either you can bake the small sheet as it is by keeping it in the muffin liner . If you don’t cut the sheets then it is difficult to fit into your mouth.
  • Or you can cut the the sheets into two and fold it and keep it in a muffin tray.
  • I cut them into 2 and baked ( i for got to click at this stage.Will update it soon.

  • Bake this sheets for 10mins in 150 degree C or till the sheets turn  crisp like a papad.
  • Repeat the same  process for the rest of the sheets.
  • You can do this baking process 2-3 days in advance and keep them in a air tight container.
How i served:
  1. Just arrange the baked spring roll cups in a plate.
  2. Add 1 tsp of aval/poha we made.
  3. Just sprinkle some onion and and 2-3 tomato pieces.
  4. To this add little scrapped coconut and finally garnish with some nylon sev../omapodi.
The poha can be eaten as it as a evening snack without serving on the sheets too.

Notes:


  1. Just add the onions , tomatoes,coconut and sev while serving .
  2. Since no cooking is involved this will be become soggy soon, prepare this 10 mins before eating.

    1. I don't recommend to add chutneys in this recipes as we add coconut i feel if we add chutneys it will spoil the taste.
