Can I use thin Aval

I would recommend using thick poha as it gives a good texture to the jaggery-based Indian sweet recipe.

Should Vella Aval texture be slightly mushy?

Traditionally many people make inipu aval fluffy but to make it toddler-friendly I prefer this texture. Adjust the water according to your preferred texture.

Jaggery quantity

Adjust according to your sweetness and also jaggery variety

Can I add jaggery directly? 

Jaggery might have impurities so I would recommend preparing jaggery water. Strain then add to the sweet. If you use big chunks of jaggery, melt in a microwave or stovetop

Should I saute coconut?

It is optional but gives good flavorful to the sweet aval.

variation – you can use

• thin poha, sprinkle water to turn them soft
• Add Edible camphor, nutmeg, etc.
• Roasted almonds, raisins, or nuts of your choice
• Sprinkle coconut before turning off instead of sautéing
• You can cardamom pods instead of cardamom powder
