Dear Friends,
This is a south Indian delicacy during my grand parents time. I am not sure if this is prepared in cities but definitely in country side. I remember my grand mother making this sweet aval urundai for breakfast or as evening tiffin after school.
It;s prepared from pressed rice, jaggery, banana, grated coconut. It hardly take any time to prepare this sweet balls. I am sure kids would like this dish for a change.

Ingredients:
- Pressed rice 1 cup - do not use paper thin poha for this
- Banana small 2 - small yellow bananas available in south India would best suit
- Sugar - as per taste
- Grated coconut - 1/4 cup
- Grated Jaggery - 1/4 cup
Preparation:
- Wash the poha couple of times to remove the dust. Strain and put in a large bowl
- Add all ingredients, including the banana and mix well. Use your hands to smash banana and mix well.
- Add more sugar / jaggery if needed. Make small balls and serve immediately.
Note:
- Do not let this dry, as it loses the moisture.
- Wash the poha well so it;s soft to make the balls.
