Navratri is all about prayers, fun, dance, and leave it not – Food too. Irrespective of our geographical placement, we Indians try to pass our traditions to our family by all these. Food plays an integral part of any festival. Though we have evolved to try new recipes and techniques in our meal each day, there are traditional recipes that still are served.
One such is the Aval puttu ( Poha Puttu). Puttu is one traditional recipe that is served in many parts of Tamilnadu on the Navratri Friday for Goddess Durga. This puttu is different from the Kerala puttu that is served with kadala curry. Usually, it is prepared with homemade rice flour and jaggery. It can also be prepared with store-bought rice flour. Here I have prepared the same puttu with Aval/ Poha. The same process is followed except replacing rice flour with poha. Do try this tasty puttu and serve to the Goddess.
Instructions
- Heat a Kadai and dry roast the poha/ Aval until they turn golden brown. This will take about 3 – 4 mins. Transfer to a plate and allow it to cool down. ”;
