Aval Pottukadalai Urundai Recipe
Aval Pottukadalai Urundai is a mild sweet made by using roasted aval, pottukadalai with ghee. It comes out soft and mildly sweet which looks nice on the plate. It has a mild nutty flavour. It is little different from usual ladoos because of the crispy poha texture inside.
Servings12 ladoos
Ingredients
- 1 cup thick poha / aval
- ½ cup gram dal / pottukadalai
- ½ cup peanut / kadalai
- ⅛ cup + 1 tablespoon ghee
- ½ cup sugar I used brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom powder
Instructions
- Heat a tablespoon of ghee in a kadai, add poha roast until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

- Mix well, take little mixture press and hold tight, shape them as ladoos. Shape them when its still warm so that it holds tight. Enjoy Aval Pottukadalai Urundai!
Notes
- Roasting – I roast the poha, gram dal and peanuts separately until golden and crisp. This helps each ingredient cook evenly and add nice roasted flavour.
- Powdering – I grind each roasted ingredient to a powder separately first, so they mix evenly and the texture become uniform throughout.
- Ghee Temperature – I heat the ghee until it is warm and add raisins to let them soften. Do not make it too hot as it may burn the raisins.
- Mixing – I mix everything together while still warm so it blends nicely. Cool it slightly before shaping so it does not burn your hands.
- Shaping – I press and hold tight while shaping the ladoos. Shape them when they are still warm so they hold firm and do not crumble apart.
