Aval(sweet pongal)

Description

Aval (flaked rice/poha), this sweet my mother prepares for every Tamil varusha pirapu. As today is Tamil New Year I would like to share this recipe with you all.
Ingredients
1 cup Aval (flaked rice/poha)
½ cup Jaggery (powdered)
1 T Ellu(til/nuvvulu)
1 T Coconut grated
½ tsp Cardamon powder

Instructions

First roast the sesame seeds (ellu/nuvvulu) and keep aside. Melt jaggery by adding half cup water ,when the jaggery dissolves, filter it and heat again (jaggery should melt only)soon wash the aval once and add to the jaggery water stir to mix properly it will become little thick remove from gas after sometime the remaining little bit liquid will be absorbed by aval (so not to worry if it looks little soggy) when it becomes little dry garnish with grated coconut and roasted ellu.

Notes

Remember that jaggery water is not too much then it will become too soggy.

Tip: When jaggery water is boiling add little little aval to it if u think it will become too dry stop adding aval, if u think jaggery water is too much u can add more aval to it so while doing this sim the flame.
