Wishing everyone a very Happy Krishna Janmashtami.!
Krishnashtami,/ Janmashtami / Gokulashtami is a festival celebrating the birth of Lord Krishna in India.
Poha/ Atukula is believed to be one of the favorite ingredients to Lord Krishna. Today I made Poha Laddu ( Atukula Laddu) and Poha Pulihora ( Atukula Pulihora) as Neivedyam to Lord Krishna.
Poha laddu/ Atukula Laddu-
Ingredients:
- Flattend rice /Poha/ Atukulu- 1 cup
- Dry/ Fresh Coconut – ½ cup
- Grated Jaggery – ½ cup
- Ghee / clarified butter- 4 tsps
- Cardamom pods- 2 crushed
- Cashew pieces- Handful
- Water – little less than ¼th cup
Procedure:
-
In a pan, heat a teaspoon of ghee and roast the cashew to light brown. Remove and set a side.
-
In the same pan add 2 tsps of ghee and poha. Roast the poha in low heat until crisp. Remove and let it cool.
-
In the same pan add the rest of the ghee and roast the coconut till pale brown. It takes about two minutes.
-
In a mixer add poha, cardamom and coconut and grind it to a fine powder.
-
In a pan add water and the grated jaggery. Let the jaggery come to a boil. Turn off the heat.
- Add the poha powder, cashew and cardamom powder to the jaggery syrup. Mix it well and set a side for 5-10 minutes.
- The poha would have absorbed the liquid and become soft.
- Form ladoo, and store in a sir tight container.
- If the ladoo is not binding add little more ghee.
Note:
Poha laddu are slightly grainy in texture. After making the laddu ,let stay for 30 minutes before serving!
