AVAL KESARI / POHA KESARI



An easy Aval Kesari recipe for this Gokulashtami!  I was planning to make Aval / Poha laddu and then I thought of making this quick recipe for pooja.  It is one of the simplest and easiest recipe.  Enjoy making this quick recipe and have a great pooja.

INGREDIENTS:

Aval                      - 1 Cup
Sugar                    - 1 1/2 cup
Water                   - 3 cups
Cashews               - 10 
Red food color     - 1/4 tsp
Ghee                     - 2 to 3 tsp

HOW TO MAKE:

Dry roast aval in a pan or a kadai and fry until the nice aroma comes.  Do not burnt.  Allow it to cool and in a blender grind it as a coarse powder.  Keep aside.  Heat a tsp of ghee in a small pan and fry cashews until turn into golden brown.  Keep aside. 



Boil 3 cups of water in a kadai or in a deep pan.  When water starts boiling add coarse aval little by little.  Stir continuously to avoid lumps.  Add 1/4 tsp of food color and blend well.


Once the aval get cooked add sugar and stir continuously.


Blend well and and add fried cashews.  Pour a tsp of ghee on the top.


Aval Kesari is ready:-) Serve hot or cold.


TIPS:

For coloring pinch of saffron also can be added.

You can add pinch of cardamom powder too.  If you add saffron then cardamom need not to be added.

I have added 2 tsp of ghee and you can add a tsp extra if you want.

1:2 sugar can be added.  I have reduced 1/2 cup of sugar and for us it was perfect.
