I am just back after 2 weeks break and still not in a mood to enter into the kitchen and to add up my friends are pampering me to take rest and sending me food for the past 2 days. So finally today i made a simple breakfast with aval| poha| rice flakes, which my mom makes very often. I have already posted a similar kind of puli upma with rice flour. Click Here for the recipe. This is a easy breakfast recipe and can be made in a jiffy.
