Aval Kesari

Ingredients
Aval / Poha 3/4cup
Sugar – 1cup
Water -2 cup
Ghee – 2 sp
Badam- 5

Aval kesari is one of the quick and easy recipe made with just few ingredients available at home. Only one thing to remember while making aval kesari. Just like rava, aval also should be cooked soft before adding sugar. Because after adding sugar, it turns slightly firm. so if it is not soft, your sweet also will have it’s texture affected.


poha-kesari
Wishing you all a very Happy and Prosperous New year🤩. I thought of trying gulab jamun and post for this new year, but made it with readymade mix. So tried this aval kesari which I wanted to try for long time. I tasted this few years back at a relative’s house and I could hardly find it that its made out of aval / poha/ flattened rice. I thought of asking her the recipe, but could not. Later checked with my MIL and made. Here’s the simple recipe


Ingredients
Aval / Poha – ½ cup
Sugar – ½ cup
Water – 1 cup
Yellow or orange food colour – Methi seed size
Cardamom – 1
Ghee – 2 & ½ tblsp
Salt – 1 pinch
Cashew nut – 5
Cook Mode
Prevent your screen from going dark
Instructions
Heat a pan with little ghee and fry broken cashewnuts in it until golden in medium flame. Transfer to a bowl, add poha to it.
Fry for a minute in medium flame without changing its colour. Powder coarsely like rava.
Boil water and add the powdered poha, salt to it, mix well. Cook covered in low flame until all water is absorbed and poha cooked softly. Mix in between to avoid burnt bottom.
Add sugar, food colour, powdered cardamom to the cooked poha and mix. First it will become watery. (Please use natural food colour as much as possible, it is available online or in gourmet shops that has natural plant based food colours)
Keep stirring in meidum flame adding ghee until it leaves the sides.
