Poha Ladoo Recipe | Aval Laddu Recipe | Atukula Laddu Recipe

Poha Ladoo Recipe | Aval Laddu Recipe | Atukula Laddu Recipe is one of the sweet recipes made especially during the festive season of Krishna Janmashtami and Vinayaka Chaturthi.

People in different locations call with different names. In North India, people call flattened rice as Poha whereas in South India they call as Aval or Atukullu.

When making sweet recipes during the festival is like a time-consuming process but this recipe has very fewer ingredients. The main ingredients for Aval Laddu are flattened rice, fresh coconut grate, jaggery and dry fruits.

Based on the quality of jaggery we use binding ingredients vary, so sometimes we need to add ghee and milk as binding ingredients. When using dry fruits, if we use whole then binding may become hard so I broke them into pieces.

We all know Lord Krishna’s favorite recipes are butter, poha and milk products. So any recipe made using these ingredients as said to be favorites of the lord.

If you eat this recipe immediately after preparation of Atukula Laddu one can experience the crunchy flavor of poha powder and while chewing they start melting giving authentic flavors of jaggery and ghee.

TIPS to make perfect Poha Ladoo or Aval Laddu Recipe:

• If you are serving fresh Laddu then roasting flattened rice will give crunchy flavor.
• We can make use of dry coconut to increase shelf life but fresh tastes great.
• While choosing jaggery, avoid salted variant. Also, choose branded so that they are free from stones and other foreign particles.
• If you already purchased jaggery, then it a good idea to dissolve it in little water and filter using a colander. But if you are dissolving in the water we need to make thin sticky syrup.
• As jaggery is sticky, based on the variant of jaggery we should add a bit of ghee or milk to bind.
• Break cashew into small pieces so that it becomes easy to make laddu.

Ingredients

• Flattened rice/ atukulu/ aval – 1 bowl
• Fresh coconut grated – 1 cup
• Jaggery – 1 cup
• Ghee – 1 tbsp.
• Cashew – 2 tbsp. broken to small pieces
• Cardamom powder – 1 tbsp.

Instructions

1. Put 1 bowl poha in a pan and dry roast for a minute or two till they become crisp.
2. Transfer to another plate to cool. Once cooled they turn crisp, put them in a mixer grinder and make rough powder.
3. Grate fresh coconut (avoid tender), put this in a blender. Add jaggery and run the mixer grinder so that both of them get mixed well.
4. Melt 1 tbsp. ghee in a pan and roast dry fruits. In our recipe, I have added the only cashew to make it easy to bind while making Aval Laddu.
5. Roast dry fruits until one can experience the essence and aroma of roasted cashew.
6. Put cashew and cardamom powder in poha powder and mix well.
7. Add jaggery mix in batches and mix well. If you feel jaggery mix is enough to make Atukula Laddu then stop adding it and mix well.
8. Once you get sticky consistency press hard in hands and make round shape Poha Ladoo.
9. As we made this recipe with fresh coconut grate, its shelf life is low so preserve them in an airtight container and store in a refrigerator.
