Aval Coconut Kesari

Aval Coconut Kesari is a delightful South Indian dessert that’s as beautiful as it is delicious. This dessert embodies the essence of South Indian cuisine with its unique blend of textures and flavours. The star ingredients here are aval (poha), grated coconut, and jaggery, which create a harmonious and satisfying dessert.

The recipe begins by frying some cashew nuts until golden brown, infusing a delightful nutty aroma. Then, prepare a jaggery syrup by dissolving the jaggery in water. This syrup is strained to remove impurities and simmered to the perfect consistency. Then, add the grated coconut and aval, creating a medley of flavours and textures. As you stir in ghee, the mixture thickens beautifully.

To enhance the aroma and taste, sprinkle some cardamom powder, providing a touch of exotic spice. Finally, the dish is garnished with crunchy cashew nuts, adding flavour and texture.
