vella aval recipe /sweet aval/poha puttu

This vella aval recipe is one of its kind that can be easily made without any confusion. Not only for festive occasions but it can be made any time as a healthy snack. I have used thick aval but you can use those thin variety. Even red aval can be used but you have soak it well and add the jaggery syrup so that it cooks all well. Procedures may differ for making this aval puttu but my kind of making is little different but definitely tasty. At first after making poha will be little wet but after sometime it will come to a puttu consistency. Its one the special sweets made during gokulashtami and  even for navarathri. Some use sugar instead of jaggery for making this

vella aval recipe. But personally I love the taste with jaggery. As we are roasting the coconut and even aval it can kept good for two to three days. If you like adding coconut you can add more of it. Don’t skip adding ghee which gives wonderful aroma and taste.Actually its very filling and tasty that you wouldn’t be hungry for long hours. For this Gokulashtami make this wonderful vella aval recipe as neivaidyam and enjoy.
