Aval Laddu Recipe | Poha Laddu Recipe

 

Aval laddu recipe is a quick Indian sweet that you can make easily during this festival season. With few simple ingredients and 15 minutes you will have this poha laddu ready to serve. There are tons of variations with this recipe and here I am sharing the simplest one. Here is a quick recipe for making aval laddu with step by step photos.

Aval alos known as poha or rice flakes or parched rice is one common ingredient used in Indian cooking. We use aval on both sweet and savory recipes like poha idli, aval upma, kanda poha, masala poha, poha chivda recipes. This aval laddu and aval kesari are common sweets made with poha.

To make aval laddu I have used medium thick aval, sugar and cardamom powder. For binding I have used homemade desi ghee. You can also use coconut oil instead of ghee. Even milk can be sued but the shelf life of poha ladoo will be less with milk.

For sweetener I have used sugar in this aval laddu recipe. For healthier version you can use powdered jaggery or palm sugar or brown sugar. I have added a pinch of saffron for slight color.

Serve poha laddu as snack or as sweet in lunch or dinner. Aval ladoo is good for toddlers and kids snack box too. These ladoo stay good for a week when stored airtight.
