    About Aval Urundai

    Aval Urundai is an easy and quick snack that can be made easily. Aval Urundai is a sweet made by mixing aval or poha with jaggery syrup, cardamom powder, coconut, cashews, ghee and shaping them to small balls.

    Aval Urundai can be easily made no cook by adding jaggery directly without making syrup and adding raw cashews. This is traditionally prepared for Gokulashtami. Aval Urundai can be made as an evening time snack that could be prepared in minutes and liked by all.

    Aval Urundai also called as Poha Jaggery Ladoo is one of the most easy and quick sweets that you can prepare even at the last minute for the festival. Can you see my kutty krishnar walking towards his favorites aval and butter in the pictures. Blogging has made krishnar come into our homes well in advance.

    Aval Urundai Ingredients

    • Jaggery – Prepare jaggery syrup, make it thick strain to remove impurities and use it.
    • Cashews – Fry broken cashews in ghee and use it.
    • Ghee – Use homemade ghee or store bought ghee.
    • Coconut – Use grated coconut or chopped coconut pieces.
    • Cardamom powder – Cardamom powder adds flavor to this sweet.

    How to make Aval Urundai Step by Step

    1.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). Strain and keep aside.

    2.The syrup should more like honey consistency. Heat a teaspoon ghee in a pan, add the cashews till golden brown. Set aside. Now add the coconut and roast it for 2 minutes without letting the color change.

    3.Rinse poha and soak it in water for 2 minutes. Drain water and squeeze the aval to drain the extra water. Mash it well. Then to a mixing bowl add poha along with jaggery, roasted coconut, ghee fried cashews, cardamom powder, remaining ghee and mix well.

    Expert Tips

    • 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.

    Serving and Storage

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