Poha Laddu/ Flattened rice Laddu


Poha or flattened rice/ rice flakes is used in many sweet dishes. Poha laddu is one among them. 

This is a very easy, quick & delicious recipe which can be prepared with very few basic ingredients. 

Poha has lots of health benefits. It is a good source of healthy carbohydrates, easily digestible , rich in iron ,  low in calories &  gluten free. 

To have a healthy option,  I have used jaggery in this recipe. You can use sugar instead. This could be the best & healthy snack for your kids. 

I have used few dry fruits here. You can add any of your favourite dry fruits or can skip dry fruits if you wish. 

Please note: Here i have used normal thin poha. You can use any varieties of poha. 

Use jaggery as per your preference. 


Recipe:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup poha/ flattened rice ( 200 gms)
  • 1/2 cup grated coconut
  • 1/4 -1/2 cup jaggery
  • Little cardamom powder
  • 1/2 cup mixed dry fruits
  • 2 tbsp ghee. 

Method:


In a wide pan, add 1 cup poha & 1 tbsp ghee. Mix well & fry on a slow flame for 2-3 minutes till it turns crispy. 

Cool & make a coarse powder  in the mixer grinder. 

In the same pan roast coconut for 2 minutes & keep it aside.
 
In the same pan heat 1 tbsp ghee, add all dryfruits. Fry for 1 minute,  remove & Keep it aside. 

Now add  jaggery to the same pan add 1/4 cup water.

Boil well till you find this thick foamy texture. 

Switch off the flame, add poha, coconut ,  dryfruits & cardamom powder. Mix well.  

Leave aside for 2 minutes. 

Prepare laddus. 

They are super moist & super delicious.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice.

Chicken Jiren Mirin Curry This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of mangalorean cuisine.  I still feel the aroma of this curry from my grandmother's & mom's kitchen.  Whenever we visited our grandmother, she used to prepare this curry with her own country chicken (naati koli) and serve it with hot crispy rice bakri.  The taste , aroma & grandmother's love  is just unforgettable.  This curry can be prepared very easily as very few basic ingredients are required to prepare this yummy curry. Here we use less red long chillies to enhance the flavour of other spices.   This curry is called jiren-mirin curry as jiren(jeera) & mirin(pepper) are the main ingredients which gives authentic flavour & taste to this dish.   Here we use less chillies as more pepper is added to the masala.  This curry goes extremely well with sanna, dosa, appams, panpole, chapathi and even with plain rice.  This same masala...
