Aval Urundai is a traditional mild sweet ball made by blending aval, jaggery syrup, cardamom powder & ghee and shaping them to balls. Aval Urundai is an age old evening time snack that could be prepared in minutes & liked by all.
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.

My mil makes it a bit differently.When the cream is full she adds a spoon of curd to it and leaves it at room temperature overnight.next day she churns butter.Any which way,homemade butter is so delicious:)
