Chakkarai Aval Pori | Sweet Aval Pori | Sweet Kurmura

Chakkarai Aval Pori is a sweet kurmura. This is made as a prasadam during Karthigai Deepam. During school days, this used to be a favourite snack item and all my friends used to love this. We used to wait for Karthigai Deepam as Amma made this only for the occasion!

Ingredients:

100 gms Aval Pori | Puffed Rice

200 gms Sugar

1 tsp Coconut, diced into small pieces

1/4 tsp Elaichi | Cardamom Powder

1 tsp Ghee | Clarified Butter

1/2 cup Water

Method:

• Clean the Aval Pori for any husks. stone, black colored Pori and seive it to remove dust, if any. Keep aside.
• In a Kadai, add water, sugar  and diced coconut and keep on high flame. Keep stirring it continuously till the sugar dissolves.
• When the sugar syrup attains one string consistency switch off the flame. 
• Add the Aval Pori, Ghee and Elaichi Powder and mix well. 
• The sugar syrup must get nicely coated on the Aval Pori. The Aval Pori will be separated. There may be few chunks of Aval Pori, but thats not an issue.
• Once they come to room temperature, store them in an air-tight container.

Whenever Amma makes this for Karthigai Deepam, after the pujai, while eating the prasadam, I first check for the chunks of Aval Pori as they taste amazing! 

This can be made for kids as a sweet snack.
