Aval laddu recipe (Poha ladoo) | Easy Krishna jayanthi recipes

August 26, 2013 by Raks Anand 53 Comments / Jump to Recipe

Aval laddu recipe

Aval laddu, just 3 main ingredients for this quick and easy recipe ready in 30 mins.

Krishna Jayanthi is only 2 days away, so are you still thinking what to make for the festival? Are you scared of trying out the deep fried recipes like seedai, murukku and thattai? Don’t worry, here is an easy recipe that has lord Krishna’s favorite – Aval / Poha and ghee. Only 3 main ingredients and the laddu is ready within 30 mins. It tastes similar to our rava ladoo except for the flavour of poha instead rava. I made it in small quantity, perfect for nuclear families.

Course Sweets
Cuisine Indian

Ingredients

  • Aval/ Poha/ flattened rice – 1 cup
  • Sugar – 1/2 cup
  • Ghee – 1/4 cup
  • Cashew nuts – 3
  • Dried raisins – 8
  • Cardamom – 2

Instructions

  • Sieve the poha to get rid of any impurities. Remove large impurities by hand picking.
  • Dry roast the poha until golden in colour. Cool down.
  • Grind to make a flour/ fine powder. Grind sugar also with the cardamom seeds to fine powder.
  • Heat ghee and break the cashews to very tiny pieces and fry until golden. Add raisin and fry till fluffy.
  • Take the powdered ingredients in a mixing bowl and add the heated ghee to it.
  • Mix well and take a hand full of mixture nad press inside your palm to make ladoos out of it.

Notes

  • Make sure to roast the poha well and grind it finely.
  • cardamom is must needed for lending a divine flavour.
  • Use ghee and sugar as mentioned for perfect taste.
  • Make sure to finely break the cashews and also do not add more than required, otherwise it will be difficult for shaping the ladoos.
  • Ladoos are fragile, so carefully handle it. If not ground finely, it will be hard to hold its shape.

    Thanks for the feedback 🙂 May be its not powdered finely? because the ghee measurement here is perfect to hold the shape. Also you have to heat the ghee b4 adding it and make ladoos. But I agree we have to put some pressure b4 it holds and forms a shape 🙂
