Pori Urundai

Authentic recipe prepared only on the Karthigai Deepam day. They form a great snack for the kids too.
Aval Pori and Nell Pori are the two famous dishes prepared on the auspicious occasion of Thirukarthigai/Karthigaideepam.

This post was pending to be published last month, I hope this would help all you at least for the next Karthigai Deepam.

You need:

Aval pori - 4 cups
Grated Jaggery - 1 cup
Finely chopped coconut pieces - 2 T
Cardamom powder - 1 tsp

Add jaggery in a pan with 1/2 cup of water and when it dissolves it water take it and strain the jaggery water to avoid sand.

Again boil the jaggery water along with coconut and keep stirring it until the jaggery comes to stone consistency. This means when we take a drop of jaggery juice and pour it in water, it should not dissolve rather we should be able to make a ball out of it.
Now remove the jaggery from flame and add the Aval pori/Nell Pori and mix it well along with cardamom powder.

Now the Aval/Nell Pori mixture is ready.

Remove this pori mixture and place it in a paper. Make small balls of Aval/Nell pori.

The delicious Aval/Nell Pori urundai is ready for neivedhyam.
