Aval Puttu (Beaten rice, Poha )

It is considered very auspicious to prepare puttu on Navarathri friday and distribute it to women who come and see Golu. This Aval Puttu is so simple to make and just can be prepared in 1/2 hour . You will like it so much that you will start making this frequently even not during Navarathri days. Children will love to eat this as an evening snack.

Ingredients Required:
Poha or aval - 2 cups
Jaggery - 1 cup
Cashews - 10-12
Raisins - 10-12
Cardamom - 2-3(powdered)


Cooking Method:

  • Fry Poha in a pan until golden brown. Remember to keep stirring else, it will become black.
  • Heat water in a bowl separately.

  • While heating water grind the fried poha in the mixie so that it is in the consistency of fine rava.

  • Transfer poha to a large plate.

  • Add hot water slowly and start mixing poha and water. Do not put too much water. Poha will start absorbing water and try to separate it out in such a way that it forms crumbs.

  • Let this settle for sometime.

  • Take a pan and put the jaggery and a little water and start making a thick syrup (pagu).

  • Now add the poha to the jaggery and start stirring until it solidfies. Initally it will appear to look like liquid. But keep stirring and as soon as all the water is absorbed, you will find puttu well mixed in jaggery syrup which will appear in powder form.

  • Now add Cardomom powder to this.

  • Fry cashew and raisins in ghee and add to the puttu.

  • Let is cool for sometime and serve .
