Aval Laddu is a soft mild sweet made by blending powdered aval, fried gram with ghee & raisins. Aval Ladoo is usually made for Krishna Jayanthi and can be tried at home as a snack instead of packed foods.
Servings10 ladoos

- 1/4 cup chutney dal
- 1/3 cup sugar

Instructions
- First spread the poha and remove any dust /speck if any.
- Then dry roast it in a pan till nice aroma rises say 3-5mins in low flame without changing the color of poha. Keep mixing at intervals to avoid browning. Set aside.

Notes
- I used thick poha, you can use any variety you have either thick / thin or even red aval.
- Make sure to roast the poha well else it will give a raw taste.
- For frying cashews and raisins I used 2 teaspoon from that 1/4 cup ghee itself.
- Adding fried gram dal gives a nice flavour to the ladoos.
- The ladoo keeps well for 5-6 days.
- Make sure you break all the lumps, mix well then shape them into ladoos.
