    Poha Peanut Laddo Recipe – Atukula Palli Ladoo- Aval Laddu for Gokulashtami

    20 shares
    Jump to Recipe

    Delicious South Indian sweet balls prepared with beaten rice, sugar, peanuts, cardamom and ghee.

    What is Poha Peanut Laddu?

    Poha laddu is a traditional South Indian sweet balls usually made with flattened rice or beaten rice and sugar or jaggery. I have added some peanuts to the traditional aval laddu or poha laddu to enhance the taste and texture.

    Poha is also known as Atukulu in Telugu, Aval in Tamil and avalakki in kannada.

    It can be served as a prasadam or naivedyam for festivals such as Krishnastami or Ganesh Chaturthi!

    Ingredients needed:

    Poha: You can use a thick or thin variety of poha in this recipe. Just make sure you roast them well.

    Peanuts: If you have roasted peanuts in hands, you can use them.

    Edible Camphor: It is also known as “Pacha Karpooram” in Telugu. You can skip it if you don’t have but it gives the divine flavor.

    Nuts: I have used cashew pieces to add the extra crunch.

    Sugar

    Ghee

    Cardamom

    How long can I store them for?

    If you store them properly in an airtight container, they keep well for 2 weeks.

    Serving suggestions for aval ladoo:

    They can be served as a sweet snack with a cup of tea or coffee.

    They are perfect for gifting during Diwali festival.
