Aval Kesari (Poha / Flattned Rice Kesari), is another variety of Kesari which is so mouth-watering. Conventionally, we make kesari using Semolina. But we can make with Aval, Semiya, Samba Wheat and other millets. This Aval kesari is one of the dish which I used to make during festivals especially for Gokhulashtami.. This is yet another sweet you can do it quickly and surprise the family and guests.

Hello! Can you substitute the sugar for gud? If so what proportion would you use? Recipe looks great!
yes we can replace sugar for jaggery. Use the same amount of sugar. For 1 cup of poha use 1 cup Gud.
