'Sweet aval' is a quick teatime snack in South Indian homes - made of puffed rice (poha) and jaggery. It is a hit with kids.
Ingredients
Aval (puffed rice) (thick variety) – 2 glasses
Jaggery – ¾ glass
Grated coconut – 2-3 tbsp
Cardamom powder – ½ tsp
Cashew nuts – 8
Futana dal (chutney dal) – 1 tbsp
Ghee – 2-3 tsps
Method
Wash the aval and leave in a colander for 10 minutes.
Heat ¼ glass water in a kadhai, add the jaggery
and stir.
Make a thick syrup after straining impurities if
any.
Add the poha, mix well and cook till dry. Remove from
stove.
Heat 2-3 tsp of ghee in a small pan and fry the
cashews till golden brown and remove.
In the same ghee, fry the pottukadalai till
golden brown.
Add these fried stuff along with the ghee to the
aval. Also add grated coconut and cardamom powder and mix well.
Serve hot or cold.© Copyright 2011. Brinda Balasubramonian.
