Ingredients

  • 1 cup aval / poha
  • 1/4 cup thick jaggery syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 3 tablespoon coconut grated
  • 3 teaspoon ghee
  • 1 teaspoon cashews broken

Instructions

  • Soak jaggery in warm water(till immersing level) , crush it well. Then heat it up until it is slightly thick (no string consistency needs to be checked). Strain and keep aside.
  • The syrup should more like honey consistency. Heat a teaspoon ghee in a pan, add the cashews till golden brown. Set aside. Now add the coconut and roast it for 2 minutes without letting the color change.
  • Rinse poha and soak it in water for 3-5 minutes. Drain water and squeeze the aval to drain the extra water. Mash it well. Then to a mixing bowl add poha along with jaggery, roasted coconut, ghee fried cashews, cardamom powder, remaining ghee and mix well.
  • Grease your hands with ghee and make lemon sized balls, your yummy aval urundai is ready to be served.
  • Your aval urundais are ready!

Notes

  • Instead of adding jaggery syrup you can even use powdered jaggery directly but make sure to use clean organic jaggery.
  • You can even fry raisins and add it.
  • Adding coconut enhances flavor. You can use fresh coconut desiccated coconut too.
  • I used thin poha so soaking time was less. If you use thick poha you many need to soak for 5 minutes.
