No onion no garlic recipe
Mor aval is a very simple and easy tiffin | breakfast| snack recipe using aval| poha| rice flakes. This quick recipe i learnt from my cousin who was with us here for the past 4 days on a holiday. She is a wonderful cook and during our casual chat session, she mentioned about this mor aval recipe. She told that her mil makes it very well and she learnt it from her. I noted down the recipe from her and tried this yesterday. It tasted very well and Suresh loved it a lot. If you have slightly sour yogurt, then try out this mor aval recipe using poha | aval.
