Equipment

Ingredients

  • 4 cups Thin Poha
  • 1/2 Coconut grated
  • 1 cup Jaggery grated
  • 10-12 Cashew nuts
  • 1 tbsp Golden raisins
  • 1 tbsp Black raisins
  • 1 tbsp Sesame seeds
  • 2-3 Cardamom powdered
  • 1 tbsp Ghee
  • Coconut water as needed

Instructions

  • Heat ghee in a kadai (pan). Add the cashew nuts and roast until they turn golden. Then, add the raisins and roast until they become plump. Take them out and set aside on a plate.
  • Add sesame seeds to the kadai and roast them lightly. Set aside. Save any extra ghee in the kadai, as you can add it while mixing the poha.
  • In a mixing bowl, add grated coconut, grated jaggery, and poha. Mix everything well.
  • If the poha mixture feels too dry, add a little coconut water to moisten it.
  • Add the roasted nuts, raisins, sesame seeds and cardamom powder to the poha mixture along with any leftover ghee. Mix everything thoroughly.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Aval Nanachattu can also be served with banana and milk for an added touch.
