Avalakki Oggarane orAvalakki Umpa or  Seasoned Poha  is very easy, quick and simple breakfast menu. Also it is a quick snack in the evening. We have three varieties of avalakki/poha, Gatti avalakki(thick), medium avalakki and thin also known as paper(telu) avalakki. I already gave the recipe of Thin masala avalakki. For this avalakki oggarane we use either medium or thick one. Here is the simple Karnataka style recipe to the wonderful dish Avalakki uppittu.

Here we have used only onion but you can use fresh peas, mixed vegetables, capsicum or bell pepper or vegetables of your choice. Or you can skip the onion and make NO Onion Breakfast.
