Aval Urundai

 

I was never a fan of aval or anything made with aval when I was young, but somehow as I grew older it became an acquired taste. This simple snack is a must-try as it is very quick to make and healthy as well. Credits to mom!

Ingredients:

2 cups aval (flattened rice)
1 cup grated coconut
1 cup jaggery (can use palm jaggery as well)
1/4 tsp cardamom powder

Method:

Roast the aval over a medium flame.

Lightly roast the grated coconut.

Coarsely powder the aval and grated coconut in a mixie blender. Add the cardamom powder.

Dissolve the jaggery in half a cup of boiling water to form a syrup and sieve to remove any impurities.

Mix the jaggery syrup, a little at a time, into the powdered aval and roll into balls.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. Refrigerate if storing longer.
