Easy aval kuzhachathu recipe ( sweet poha)

Easy aval kuzhachathu recipe ( sweet poha)

It was one of those days when I was confused as to what to make for kids snacks, I had a packet of organic beaten rice so thought of making something quick with it. There is a typical Kerala snack of beaten rice cooked in jaggery and coconut and flavoured with cardamom powder. I took a shortcut since I already had melted jaggery. 
Hence this recipe :)

My kids were new to this so I was not sure how they would take it. But convinced the younger one saying about Sudama- aval- krishna story which she is familiar with since she is an avid reader of mythological stories and yes she gave a thumbs up for the dish ..happy meee :)



Ingredients


Brown beaten rice - 2 cups

Jaggery syrup - 1/2 cup
Grated coconut - 3/4 cup
Cardamom powder - a pinch
Milk - few spoons
Cashew bits
Ghee

Method

Pick the beaten rice for any foreign particles and spread out in a large bowl.
Sprinkle the milk and gently mix the poha with the milk.
Grind the coconut and jaggery syrup together coarsely.
Mix the coconut jaggery mixture into the beaten rice 
Sprinkle the cardamom powder and mix well.
Heat the ghee and fry the cashews and garnish the poha.

Serve with some tea or warm milk.

No cook and enjoy.. yes its a no cooking recipe :)
Thanks
