Aval / Poha Laddu

This is a quick snack recipe which i adopted from a cook show. It uses aval/poha as the main ingredient. The poha gives a different texture to the laddu and is different from the normal laddoo varieties. It is a very easy and tasty snack and can be fixed in a matter of minutes.

Ingredients

Aval / Poha - 1 cup

Sugar - 1 cup

Ghee/Clarified butter - 1/2 cup

Cardamom powder - 1 teaspoon

Cashews and raisins

Directions

In a saucepan, dry roast the aval/poha until it turns crispy and fragrant.

      

In a mixer, grind the poha to a fine powder. Then add equal amount of sugar  to the poha powder. Also mix in the cardamom powder. 

Fry some cashews and raisins in ghee and add to the mixture.

Heat the ghee and add it to the entire mixture and form small balls.

Store in an airtight box.
