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
