Dry grind it into fine powder.


Take a mixing bowl and mix all the above ingredients, and also sprinkle hot oil on these mixer.
Mix these ingredients very well and then knead thoroughly adding required water.
The dough should be little hard not very thin.

Take a little portion from the mixer and pat it on the plastic sheet.
Heat oil  and when oil becomes hot put these  into it.
Fry these in medium flame till both sides are cooked and the nippattu turns red color.
Drain and remove them on kitchen paper towel.

These can also be stored for weeks but should be stored in air tight container.

Goes well with tea.My mom prepares these snack during janmashtami, Ganesh Chaturthi , Diwali.I also try these snack during festivals and whenever my hubby and my kids crave for that.

      hi shyla,
      Thanks for your appreciation.
      regarding your doubt,i think you got confused .
      Here i am frying 1 cup of fried gram dal which is also called as phutani or hurakaddale in kannada or dalia in marathi or chutney dal and then make powder of the above.here fried gram dal powder is not gram flour or besan.
      Also i have added 2 tsp of fried gram dal along with ground nut to get bite size here and there.i hope your doubt is clear.

                                                                     Huli Avalakki   Huli Avalakki is a very authentic dish of the kundapura district of Karnataka. It is usually prepared for special occasions. It's a tangy, sweet, and spicy recipe. It can be eaten hot or cold. In my mom's house in Mangalore, they prepare it in a slightly different style.
