Notes

Tips for Poha Laddu Recipe

Roast the poha till crispy and do it in low flame. Slight change in colour, light brown is ok, else the Aval Urundai smells bad and don't look appealing.
Always cool the roasted poha completely and then grind, otherwise it becomes a paste.
Poha should be ground finely, else it breaks while rolling and don’t hold the shape.
Don’t add hot ghee (use warm ghee only) to the powdered poha, else the sugar melts and makes the ladoo sticky.
Also start shaping the ladoo immediately, if ghee cools it cannot be shaped.
Do roll the Poha laddu tightly, so it don’t break easily.
If you are not able to shape it, sprinkle little warm milk and go ahead. But the shelf life reduces.
Don’t add ghee more than mentioned, else it changes the colour and the Aval Laddu Recipe turns sticky.
For different version and taste, 1/4 cup of powdered fried gram can be added. Even red poha, almonds, peanuts can also be used.
For healthy version, sugar can be replaced with same quantity of jaggery powder.
