5-10 Minutes Cream of Wheat/Rava Pakoda

My Amma used to make this as a vadai for prasadhum without onions and we used to love it. Its very simple, does not take in much oil, very tasty, a wonderful snack to have with tea or coffee. Make it when you have friends dropping in and you are out of snacks. Takes 10 minutes to prepare if you use curd and 5 minutes if you add sour cream. This is very delicious when you eat it hot or cold. The output is a very crunchy pakoda on the outside but chewy and soft on the inside. Can be eaten as such or with any chutney or sauce.
