Ingredients

  • 100 g MadeBetter millet or rice aval / poha
  • 200 ml milk
  • 150 ml, plus more if needed water
  • 20 g country sugar or finely grated jaggery
  • 15 g freshly grated coconut
  • 10 g chopped nuts (optional)
  • ¼ tsp ground cardamom

Make it, step by step

  1. Heat milk and water until steaming. Add aval / poha; cook gently, stirring, until completely soft. Add hot water if thickening before tender.
  2. Remove from heat; stir in cardamom and coconut.
  3. Cool slightly, then add sugar or jaggery. Keep jaggery off the heat to reduce milk splitting.
  4. Divide into bowls, add optional nuts and serve warm. Thin with warm milk or water if needed.
Useful tips
  • Add jaggery off the heat after the milk mixture cools slightly; this reduces the chance of the milk splitting.

Allergens: Milk and tree nuts if used.
