    Last week during a chat session, my cousin sis gave me the idea of posting homemade butter and aval urundai for gokulashtami. Though I had planned for a stepwise homemade butter post, it didnt strike me for the occassion so a big thanks to her for motivating me for this post. Butter and aval are lord krishnas favourite so here I am with this post. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making, clicking and writing this post.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup aval / poha
    • 1/4 cup thick jaggery syrup
    • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
    • 3 tbsp coconut grated
    • 3 tsp ghee
    • 1 tsp cashews broken

    Instructions

    • Soak jaggery in warm water (till immersing level) , crush it well. Then heat it up until it is slightly thick (no string consistency needs to be checked) It should be of honey / idli batter consistency. Strain and keep aside.
    • Heat a tsp ghee in a pan, add the cashews till golden brown. Set aside.
    • Now add the coconut and roast it for 2mins without letting the color change.
    • Rinse poha and soak it in water for 3-5 minutes. Drain water and squeeze the aval to drain the extra water. Mash it well.
    • Then in a mixing bowl add poha along with jaggery, roasted coconut, ghee fried cashews, cardamom powder, remaining ghee and mix well.
    • Grease your hands with ghee and make lemon sized balls, your yummy aval urundai is ready to be served.

    Notes

    • Choose clean jaggery as we are adding it powdered we cant filter the impurities.
    • You can even add jaggery syrup if you prefer.

      wow so cute post. kudos to ur amma for such a beautiful painting. Homemade butter looks so rich and creamy. My grandma makes similar butter and uses to fry paniyaram's. We call it vennai paniyaram and she makes it once in year when whole family gathers for the pooja.
