Aval Ladoo | அவல் லட்டு | Poha Laddu

Aval Ladoo is simple and healthy sweet variety prepared during festival seasons. It is easy to prepare with just three simple ingredients. There are many versions in preparing this.

Ingredients :-
------------------

Aval | Poha	1 cup
Ghee	¼ cup
Brown Sugar	½ cup
Nuts	handfull
Cardamom powder	½ tsp

Method :-
-------------
1). Dry roast the poha until they are crispy, keep stirring so that it roasts evenly. Make sure not to burn or over-roast the aval and change its color. Switch off and let it cool completely and transfer it to blender. Grind the roasted aval to a fine powder and keep aside.

2). Then grind sugar along with cardamom powder to a fine powder. Grind the nuts coarsely and roast in ghee. I have used almonds, pistachios and cashews. Keep aside.
3). In a wide bowl, combine powdered aval and sugar. Then add the nuts along with the ghee. Knead everything well and make small gooseberry sized balls.
Delicious Ladoos are ready ! Store in air-tight container.  

Notes :-
-----------
# Make sure to powder it to a fine powder otherwise it will be difficult to shape the ladoo's. 
# I have used Jaggery, you can also use white sugar. 
# You can also reduce the amount of ghee and add little warm milk to shape the ladoos. But ladoos using gives more shelf life when you ghee. 
# I have used thin variety aval, You can use thick variety or red aval and follow the same procedure.  
# Over-roasted / burnt aval will taste bitter. So keep an eye when dry roasting the aval.
