Aval Laddoo / Poha Laddoo with Coconut ~ Beaten Rice and Coconut Balls

Author Manju

Ingredients

  • Aval / Poha / Beaten Rice the thicker one - 1 cup
  • Grated Coconut - ¼ cup
  • Powdered Sugar - 1 cup
  • Ground Cardamom - 1 tsp
  • Ghee - ¼ to ½ cup

Instructions

  • Wash the aval and drain well.
  • Dry roast the avail in a heavy bottomed pan on medium to high heat, till each flake is separated and there is minimal moisture in it.
  • Add the coconut and continue roasting, till the coconut turns light brown.
  • Transfer to a bowl to cool.
  • Once cooled, grind it in a food processor or blender to form a coarse powder, similar in texture to fine bread crumbs.
  • Dump this into a mixing bowl. Add sugar and cardamom. Mix well.
  • Add the ghee, little by little, while mixing it into the aval/sugar mix. Add enough ghee to form a loose dough and you can hold it together with a little pressure.
  • Make key lime sized balls with the mix and store in an airtight container for a day or so. Keep refrigerated if you want to keep it for a longer time.
