Tamarind Aval Upma also known as “Puzhi Aval” is a tangy and flavorful dish made with poha (flattened rice) soaked in tamarind-infused water. The dish begins with a tempering of mustard seeds, peanuts, dals, and asafoetida, followed by sautéed chilies, onions, and curry leaves. The tamarind water is added to the seasoning, boiled with turmeric and salt, and then combined with the soaked poha. Cooked until the flavors blend perfectly, this upma is a simple yet delicious breakfast or snack option. An alternate method involves soaking the poha directly in tamarind juice before mixing it with the seasoning, offering an equally delightful result.
