This is my grandma’s recipe. She refers to this sweet as ‘Aval Kesari’ while few calls it as Aval Puttu 🙂 Whats in a name no? If it tastes good then let’s not bother about the names 😉 This is an instant recipe and if you have any uexpected guests you can make this real quick. I have used white fl
Soak poha in water for about 10 minutes. I used thin variety of flakes. If you are using thick flakes, make sure to soak in water at least 20 minutes
Drain water completely
Heat ghee in a nonstick pan and add cashews
Once they are golden brown remove from pan and keep it aside
In the same pan add poha and saute for about minutes 2 3
And then add powdered jaggery
Depending on the variety of jaggery the quantity might differ. So kindly check and adjust. If the jaggery is too dark brown in color, then you might need a lesser amount of jaggery
Add grated coconut and cardamom powder
Mix everything together. Once the jaggery starts melting simmer the flame and close the pan with a lid
Let them get cooked for about 10 minutes
Before serving add the roasted cashewnuts, some ghee on top and serve it hot drizzle
