Aval ladoo

Aval Laddu, also known as Poha Laddu or Flattened Rice Laddu, is a popular South Indian dessert. If you are looking for a quick Indian sweet for krishna jayanthi or a flavorful healthy snack, this is one best choices.

THICK OR THIN AVAL?

I have used thick flattened rice but you can also use thin or red aval

Can I dry roast aval?

roasting aval in ghee makes it flavorful so I would recommend that.

Can I skip coconut?

Coconut is optional but it gives amazing flavor to the laddu so I would recommend that. If you are skipping coconut, reduce the sweetener accordingly.

Can I roast coconut and aval separately?

yes, to save time I prefer roasting them together.

jaggery or sugar?

you can use any sweetener of your choice. The taste of the laddu might vary accordingly. In this post, I have used brown sugar.

add-on flavors

aval is a bland ingredient so to make the laddu flavorful. I have used cardamom powder, milk powder, saffron, and coconut. You can use rose essence or any additional flavors of your choice.

Can I skip milk and milk powder?

They are optional but make the laddu flavorful. If you are skipping it add extra ghee for binding.

coarse grind

Avoid making fine paste. Coarse grind gives perfect texture for the laddu.

shelflife of laddu

Since we used milk and coconut, laddu won’t last long. Finish it within 2-3 days.
