Palakayalu is a rice-based crispy snack from Andhra, made in both sweet and spicy version. This makes a delicious finger food for kids.
This version is slightly sweet and salty, if you want a more spicy version, you can add green chili or red chili paste. The rice flour is cooked in hot water and then kneaded with ajwain seeds. Then it is rolled out as balls or as long sticks.
This was my last pick for the Rice-based Deep-fried Snacks from Andhra. All the snacks have a good shelf life and make a wonderful evening snack as well.
If your kids are fond of such munchies, these are something you can easily make and stock them. These are typically what can be called as Jar Snacks. I was inspired by this recipe and really loved it.
