Avalakki boondi or gatti avalakki sweet snacks recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. This is a very easy, crispy and tasty snacks using thick beaten rice or poha. This avalakki sweet boondi is prepared using thick beaten rice, sugar, little ghee, peanuts and cashews.
To make this snacks healthy, I have dry roasted the beaten rice. However if you want to make it more light and crispy, you can deep fry the beaten rice. This gatti avalakki snacks tastes unique with the light sugar coating. It reminds us of caramel popcorn.
Serve this as a snacks along with a cup of tea. I felt this avalakki snacks tastes better after a day. So wait for atleast few hours and then serve it.

Instructions for making avalakki boondi:

- Add in cashews and roast them too. Once done, take them out and keep it aside.
- Next to the same pan add in sugar and a pinch of salt.
- Also add in few tbsp of water. Keep it for boiling.
- Boil it until you get thick sugar syrup or hard ball consistency. You need not check it but make sure the sugar syrup is thick and boiling with thick bubbles.
- Add in roasted beaten rice (avalakki), peanuts and cashews.
- Give a good mix and switch off the stove.
- Once cool it will turn dry and crispy. Serve it after few hours for better taste.
