Today’s recipe for Navaratri Prasad is Aval Nanachathu or sweet Rice flakes – A mix of rice flakes, coconut and jaggery. This is an easy to make dish and a delicious treat that my mom used to make when we were kids. You can also use white sugar or palm sugar to sweeten the aval. It is also made as an offering in some of the temples. Give a try and enjoy this recipe.
Ingredients
2 cups Aval/poha
1 cup grated coconut
½ cup grated jaggery
