Avarekai Kodubale ( Field Beans Rice Rings)

Kodubale as these fried crisps are known as  in the whole world. Kodubale is a Kannada word. Kannada is an official language in Karnatka .  It is a beautiful language which has its own "Lipi ", (scripts), letters. ( Alphabets).
Kodubale is one of the favourite crisp of many people all over the world. (Indians and others too). Kodubale is prepared in many ways and with different ingredients. I have tried these Kodubales with Averekai/ Field beans which is again one of the favourite pod of many from Karnataka.

Bale means Bangles which is a tradition wear for hands. Again my sweet country is rich in beautiful customs and traditions. Ok coming back to Kodubale it is in the shape of Bale means bangle. Rice crisps are prepared in the shape of bangles and fried.
This time I have used Rice flour, small quantity of maida and cooked fresh  Avarekai.(Field beans).
Kodubale is good to munch at any time of the day. It is an fried dish and during rainy season/winter our body needs some kind of oiling it craves for these type of food ☺☺.

Method :

1. Remove the outer layer of field beans/Avaekai and put the seeds, soak in a bowl of water.
Remove the skin from the seeds. ( Squeeze out the outer part of the seeds).
2. We call these seeds as chithikida avare.(Squeezed out seeds).
3. Pressure cook these seeds with 1/2 cup of water for 6 to 8 minutes. Let it cool down. Remove the extra water and keep the seeds aside. ( Extra water can be used for mixing the flour later).
4. Now put the cooked avarekai in a big bowl. Add chilly powder, salt and jeera.
5. Smash it nicely or you can dry grind it to paste consistency.
