    Aval Laddu Recipe with step by step pictures. Poha ladoo or Aval ladoo is made using poha, jaggery or sugar and cardamom powder. Touch of ghee is added to give the aroma it needed. This is the most popular recipe for krishna jayanthi.

    Aval Laddu Recipe

    Poha & Butter is one of the staple food to present lord krishna on krishna jayanthi. Krishna loves his poha and butter, you can make anything out of them to serve him. Amma always make aval urundai and aval varatiyathu for krishna jayanthi every year. I was surprised that i didn't post these basic recipe in my blog till now. Thank god one of my viewer requested this recipe, so that i could make, click and post here.

    Krishna jayanti and Vinayagar chaturthi is around the corner. So i should start posting recipes for that special occasions. I have quite a few recipes in my blog, but it is missing the essential recipe like thattai, seedai, purna kolukatai..I have quite a few recipes stocked up for vinayagar chaturthi, but still have to make for krishna jayanti. Will try to make them..

    Now this recipe is so simple to make, this is my mum's version. It requires just grinding few stuffs together and shaping them into balls. But Some people soak the poha and then grind it up. I will post that version soon. But this is fast, fresh and simple to make. So try this out and let me know how it turned out.

    Aval Laddu Recipe (with Sugar)

     

    Sometimes i feel kind of bad about myself, because i always end up in the last minute rushing with my post. This time also it ended up like this. I felt bad that i posted only one new recipe, my uppu seedai for this krishna jayanthy, so i decided to try out few more recipes to share here. First recipe which i made is this aval ladoos, i already have a version of my mom's aval ladoos but this is completely different from those.

    So today morning i decided to make some snacks for tomorrow. And thankfully i had all the ingredients on hand. So i made these ladoos and a spicy crispy rava murukku, which will be my next post.

    These ladoos turned out quite good, even though i didn't taste them because i have to offer this for lord krishna tomorrow so will taste them tomorrow morning. So give this a try and let me know how it turned out for you.

    Notes

    1)Since this has milk, it has to be stored in fridge and it will stay good for 2 to 3 days.
