Kalasida avalakki or dadpe poha recipe explained with step by step pictures and a video. This is a very easy and tasty avalakki recipe. This avalakki recipe is prepared using medium thick avalakki (or thin avalakki), onion, tomato, coconut, coriander leaves, shenga (peanuts), green chilli, curry leaves, mustard, cumin, sugar, salt and lemon juice.
This is a Maharashtra style avalakki recipe and is vry popular there by the name "dadpe poha recipe". Dadpe means "pressed avalakki", however I felt "kalasida avalakki" is a better name.
