Aval Puttu Recipe (Sweet Poha Puttu)

🥗 Ingredients

• Thick Poha / Aval – 2 cups
• Salt – to taste
• Water – as needed
• Ghee – 2 tbsp
• Cashews – 10 to 12
• Raisins – 1 tbsp
• Jaggery – ¼ to ½ cup (adjust as per sweetness)
• Grated Coconut – ½ cup
• Cardamom Powder – ¼ tsp

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

• Grind 2 cups of thick poha into a coarse powder, like rava/sooji.
• Transfer to a mixing bowl, add salt, and mix well.

• Sprinkle water little by little and mix gently until you get a crumbly texture.
• If it turns too dry, pulse once in a blender to get a coarse puttu-like texture.
• The right consistency: you should be able to form a firm ball that crumbles back into powder.

Steam the Puttu

• Preheat a steamer/puttu maker/idli cooker.
• Spread the crumbly flour on a cloth-lined steamer plate.
• Steam for about 10 minutes or until cooked. Let it cool slightly.

• Heat 2 tbsp ghee in a pan.
• Roast cashews and raisins until golden. Set aside.

• Break the steamed puttu gently in a mixing bowl.
• Add jaggery, grated coconut, cardamom powder, and the roasted cashews & raisins with ghee.
• Mix well until combined.

• Soft and delicious Aval Puttu is ready!
• Serve warm as breakfast with banana or enjoy as an evening snack.
