Huli Avalakki/ Pulusu Atakalu/Teeka poha

Very simple and tasty tangy breakfast at our place. My sis loves this breakfast. We were in hostel and when we visit our home during weekends, she used to ask mom to make this as a special breakfast. Mom used to ask for other options where she can spend more time on cooking with more effort. But this simple recipe is effortless and simple and tasty. We used to eat the leftover poha for evening snack too. It tastes good when it is not hot:-)
