Gojju Avalakki also popularly known as Huli Avalakki is a Karnataka vegetarian breakfast dish this is prepared with beaten rice aka Poha or Atukulu. (Gojju = gravy and avalakki = beaten rice). Beaten rice is ground to a coarse powder, dunked in a tamarind water that is sweetened with jaggery and spiced with rasam powder before sauteed in a tempering of spices and roasted peanuts and finally garnished with fresh coconut and coriander leaves. The roasted peanuts provide a nutty crunch that complements the tangy, sweet and spice flavors of this vegan dish. A variation is the addition of a ground mix of dry roasted black pepper corns and sesame seeds which flavors Gojju Avalakki with a surprising depth.
