Instead of adding jaggery syrup you can even use powdered jaggery directly but make sure to use clean organic jaggery.
You can even fry raisins and add it.
Adding coconut enhances flavor. You can use fresh coconut desiccated coconut too.
I used thin poha so soaking time was less. If you use thick poha you many need to soak for 5 minutes.

As coconut is added it keeps well in room temperature for just 1 day. Aval Urundai keeps well in fridge for 2 days.
