Aval Laddu




Unveiling the Magic of Aval Laddu

Imagine a sweet treat that's not only delicious but also incredibly easy to make. That's the charm of Aval Laddu, a traditional Indian dessert that boasts a beautiful blend of flavors and textures. In this blog post, we'll guide you through the creation of these delectable laddus, offering you an irresistible combination of roasted aval (poha or flattened rice), sugar, ghee, and aromatic cardamom. As an extra bonus, we'll even add some crunchy cashews and plump raisins for that perfect finish.

Ingredients

  1. 1. Aval - 1 Cup:

    • Our hero ingredient, the aval, takes center stage. We'll dry roast it to a golden hue, enhancing its unique texture and flavor.

  2. 2. Sugar - 1/2 Cup:

    • Sweetness in the form of sugar binds our laddus and infuses them with a delightful taste.

  3. 3.Ghee - 1/4 Cup:

    • Ghee, the golden elixir, plays a crucial role in both flavor and texture. It brings that quintessential Indian dessert aroma to the laddu.

  4. 4.Cardamom - 1 or 2 Pods:

    • Cardamom's fragrant essence elevates the taste, creating a sensory delight with each bite.

  5. 5.Raisins - 4 to 5 Pieces:

    • Plump raisins offer a burst of natural sweetness and a pleasant chewy texture.

  6. 6.Cashews - 3 to 4 Pieces:

    • Crunchy cashews provide that lovely nutty contrast, making each laddu a joyful medley of flavors.

Crafting the Laddu Magic:

1.Golden Transformation: We start by dry roasting the aval until it achieves a beautiful golden color. This step not only enhances the flavor but also provides a pleasant crunch.

2.Powdered Perfection: After allowing the roasted aval to cool, we grind it into a fine powder along with sugar and cardamom. This forms the heart of our laddus, ready to be shaped into spheres of sweetness.
3.The Ghee Glow: We then heat up the ghee and use it to roast the cashews and raisins. This infuses them with a rich, buttery aroma and adds a delightful crunch.
4.Mix and Mould: The roasted nuts, now brimming with flavor, are added to the powdered aval-sugar mixture. We mix them well to ensure an even distribution of all the wonderful ingredients. Once thoroughly mixed, we lovingly shape them into laddus.

Extra Notes:

  • These Aval Laddus are not only delicious but also a quick and easy sweet treat to prepare.
  • Feel free to adjust the sugar quantity to suit your sweetness preference.
  • These laddus make for a perfect snack, a dessert for special occasions, or even a delightful gift for loved ones.
  • Experiment with the size of the laddus based on your preference, smaller ones are great for quick bites, while larger ones can be a satisfying dessert.

Now, let's dive into the culinary journey of making these Aval Laddus and savor the sweet rewards of your effort. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a novice in the kitchen, these laddus are a must-try for a taste of tradition and a delightful treat for all occasions. Happy laddu-making! 🍬🌟
