Ingredients

  • Thin rice flakes- 2 cups
  • Water- 1.5 cups
  • Green chillies- 2 nos.
  • Salt- 1 tsp
  • Cumin seeds- 1 tsp
  • Curry leaves- Few
  • Black sesame seeds- 2 tsp

Instructions

Preparation

  • Take rice flakes in a bowl and soak it in water for at least 15 minutes.

Method

  • Coarsely grind green chillies, cumin, salt and curry leaves together using a mixer. You can include little water for ease of grinding. Rice flakes would have absorbed all water by now.
  • Using a potato masher or ladle, mash the soaked rice flakes very well. Add the ground green chilly paste from above step and mix it up.
  • Finally add sesame seeds and give a nice mix. Now the fryum dough is ready.
  • Next pinch a small portion of this dough and place over a tray at equal distance. Repeat this process till the dough is over. You can even use a clean cotton cloth instead of tray.
  • Place the tray under sun for at least 2 days or till the fryums are dry. Turn them over in between to ensure even drying of fryums.
  • Store it in an airtight container. Deep fry them as and when required and relish with rice-rasam.
  • Poha fryums are too easy to make and crispy to eat.

Notes

  • You can even use thick rice flakes. In that case soaking time should be more.
  • You can use some mint leaves along with green chillies for different taste.
  • After sun drying, the fryums shrink in size, so do not make them very small.
