This is a snack with the evening coffee / tea. Also a good alternative to the regular popcorn in the Movie time.
Paper Avalakki is called thin poha (Thin flat rice).
There are a lot more varieties of this, similar one made with puffed rice (Kadle puri). This is popular in karnataka.
People from different regions make different versions based on local product availability, I guess.
Check below for my version of crunchy munchy chivda.
