Ingredients
Aval/Poha/Atukula/Rice Flakes – 1 Cup
Sugar/Jaggery Powder – 3/4 Cup
Cardamom Powder – 2tsp
Ghee – 2 Tbsp
Nuts – 1 Tbsp
Milk – 2 Tbsp (Optional)

Atukula Poha Aval Ladoo Preparation

• Dry fry aval/poha in low to medium flame till it attains nice aroma and when you break with two fingers it should break easily and you have to feel the crispiness.
• Transfer it to a wide bowl or spread it in a plate to cool down completely.
• Meanwhile prepare cardamom powder.
• Also powder the sugar and keep it aside (Pic 1).

• Once the fried rice flakes/poha cooled down completely powder it very well using the food processor/mixie (Pic 1).
• Now in a pan/kadai add ghee and fry the chopped nuts/raisins (Pic 2).
• Switch off the flame. Now add powdered aval/poha/rice flakes.
• Add the powdered sugar once the mixture is cool (Pic 2).
• Also add cardamom powder and make round /balls out of it (Pic 3).
• You can sprinkle boiled milk or warm ghee to make balls (Pic 3).
• The only thing when you use milk is it reduces the shelf life. So adding either ghee or milk is totally up to your desire.
• Store in air tight container.
• If using ghee it stays fresh for 3 days at least and if using milk it has to be consumed the same day or store in refrigerator for later use.
