  • pinch of salt

To roast:

  • 1 tablespoon ghee
  • 10 cashew roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoon coconut

Jaggery water:

  • 1 cup jaggery
  • 1/2 hot water

Puttu

  • 1/4 cup coconut
  • 1 tablespoon ghee
  • 1/4 teaspoon cardamom powder

Instructions

Pulse Aval

  • Pulse Aval into a coarse mixture. Resembles Rava (sooji). Make sure all the flattened rice is equally pulsed

Roast Cashews and coconut

  • Add ghee to the pan when ghee is got add cashew and saute
  • When cashew starts to brown add coconut and roast till they turn golden brown. Transfer and keep aside

Prepare Aval

  • In the same pan saute Aval in lowest flame for 2 minute
  • Furthermore add turmeric powder and salt, mix well and turn off the stove
  • Add hot water and mix well. If you try to hold it stays at the same time it can be easily crumbled
  • Cover and rest for 10 minutes
  • After 10 minutes if it looks dry add 1 tablespoon of hot water or as required and cover for 10 minutes
  • Avoid adding extra water as it might turn into upma instead of puttu

Prepare jaggery syrup

  • In a microwave-safe add 1/2 cup of water and jaggery
  • Microwave for 2 minutes or until jaggery dissolves completely
  • Filter and add the jaggery water. Turn on the stove on medium flame and boil for around 4-5 minutes

Check Jaggery syrup

  • When jaggery syrup boils well, start checking jaggery syrup
  • Take a little jaggery syrup in a water
  • The first stage - immerse in the water
  • The second stage - syrups stays in water but we can't roll it
  • The third stage- syrup stays in the water and you can combine it into a soft ball (not so firm and you can easily press it). That's is the consistency we are looking for. Avoid hard/ stone consistency

Prepare puttu

  • Add grated coconut and cardamom powder; mix well
  • Furthermore add crumbled soft poha and ghee; mix well
  • Add roasted cashew and coconut, mix well
  • Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes; mix well in between for even cooking
  • Puttu crumbles over time. When you turn off the stove it looks like a mass but turns to perfect consistency as it cool. Tasty Aval Vella Puttu is ready for offering to Navaratri | Lord Krishna
