When I went to mom's home last month she made it. After returning from market with dad and my nephew we were tired and hungry. Mom gave this snack it was too good, tasty and filling. I tried this in my home when i returned. My husband also liked this snack. You feel filling and light after eating this puli aval. Try i out in next get together.

Aval - 1 cup (75 or 100 gms)
Tamarind juice - 1 tbsp

Mustard seed - 1/4 tsp
Urad dhal - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - 5
