" class="wp-smiley" /> *<strong>Avalos Podi</strong> is a simple yet popular teatime snack from Kerala. It is made by roasting <strong>rice flour</strong> and grated <strong>coconut</strong>. ‘<strong>Podi’ </strong>stands for <strong>Powder</strong> in*Malayalam. So Avalos Podi is*nothing*but powdered rice flour and coconut. My husband is fond of Avalos Podi and he can have it any*time*of the day. Avalos Podi, if prepared*properly*has a long shelf life. It can be kept for a minimum of 3 months in airtight containers.</p>
