Sweet Aval | Aval with Jaggery
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Sweet Aval, also known as Aval Jaggery or Sweet Poha, stands as one of the easiest Prasad offerings to prepare.  According to our scriptures, Poha (Aval) holds a special place as one of Lord Krishna's favorite foods. Even if time is limited for making an elaborate array of offerings (Prasad) to Sri Krishna, crafting this Sweet Poha (Aval Jaggery) alone is sufficient to receive his blessings.

The beauty of this recipe lies in its simplicity. There's no intricate cooking process involved. We begin by gently heating the jaggery to melt it, allowing us to strain the juice and eliminate any impurities. Afterward, it's merely a matter of mixing the soft aval with the jaggery juice. In its straightforwardness, Sweet Aval embodies the essence of devotion and the joy of offering to the divine.

Soaking poha & Frying Cashew

  • Take the aval in a bowl and rinse it in water twice. Drain the water and keep it aside for 10 minutes.
  • Take a pan add ghee and roast the cashews till they turn golden brown color. Take the roasted cashews aside

Preparing Jaggery

  • Heat a pan and add the grated jaggery to the pan and add a teaspoon of water. When the jaggery is dissolved, strain it to remove any sand particles or impurities in it.
  • Again add the strained jaggery juice to the pan and bring it to boil. Add the aval to the pan and mix well.

Notes

 
  • We can also add sugar instead of jaggery just for an evening snack.
  • The colour of the Sweet aval is fully based on  the type of jaggery. I have used Pagu vellam( Dark brown jaggery) and hence dark brown colour.
