Aval Puttu(Rice flakes Puttu)
SOAKING TIME: 15 mins| PREPARATION TIME: 5 mins | COOKING TIME: 10 mins
AUTHOR: KUZHALIS SAMAIYALARAI
RECIPE TYPE: SNACKS
CUISINE: SOUTH INDIAN
SERVES: 2 PERSONS
INGREDIENTS:
1
cup Riceflakes
½
cup Jaggery
½
cup +1 cup water
½
teaspoon cardamom powder
A
pinch of salt
½
cup grated coconut
½
teaspoon dry ginger powder(Sukku podi)
1
tablespoon ghee
Few
Cashew nuts
PREPARATION:
Broke the cashews into small pieces and
keep it aside.
METHOD:
First roast the broken cashews in ghee
and keep it aside.
In apan dry roast the aval(rice flakes)
for 2 to 3 minutes or until it becomes crisp. No need to roast till the colour
changes.
Grind the roasted Rice flakes into
coarse powder.
Heat ½ cup of water and allow it boil.
Add a pinch of salt in the water.
Then add the boiling water into the
ground rice flakes.
Mix well and close it with a lid and
let it rest for 15 minutes.
In this time ground rice flakes absorbed the
water and becomes soft and crumble.
Now let’s make the jiggery syrup.
In apan take water and let it boil.
Add the powdered jiggery and mix well.
If the jiggery is having impurities,
just filter the jaggery water once all the jaggery is completely dissolved.
( I skiped this part as my jaagery was
clean)
Then again transfer the filtered
jaggery water in to the pan and let it boil.
Once the jaggery becomes little thick,
add the coconut, dry ginger powder and cardamom powder.
Let it continue to boil for few more
minutes until we get soft ball stage.
What
is soft ball Stage??
If we pour a drop of syrup into water,
we can able to gather the syrup and make a ball. The ball will little soft.
If we drop the ball in a stainless steel plate
or bowl and if it makes sound then it will be hard ball stage.
Once the jaggery syrup comes to this
stage, immediately add it to the soaked and crumbled aval (flattened rice) and
mix well.
Add the syrup little by little and mix
evenly.
Finally add the roasted cashews and
mixwell.
Add a teaspoon of ghee if you like for
extra flavor and taste.
NOTES:
- Don’t grind the aval into smooth powder.
- Making the jaggery syrup to the softball stage is very important , otherwise puttu will become soggy and less tasty.
- Adding a pinch of salt will enhance the taste and sweetness.
- Don’t add more than mentioned.
- The amount of jaggery mentioned gives enough sweetness. If you want the puttu to be more sweeter, add more ¼ cup of jaggery.
- The water quantity was enough to make the aval soft. If you feel that the aval is not soft even after soaking for 10 mins, add 2 more tablespoons of hot water and mix.
- Adding ghee at the end or while serving gives awesome flavor and taste to the puttu.
