Sweet Aval or Aval jaggery or Sweet Poha is one of the simplest Prasad to make. For Krishna Jayanthi traditionally we make Uppu Seedai, Vella Seedai, Nei Appam , Thenkuzhal, Thattai, Aval Puttu and sweet poha. As per our scriptures, Poha( Aval) is one of the favorite food for Lord Krishna. Even if we don’t have time to make so many offerings(Prasad) to Sri Krishna, making this Sweet Poha (Aval Jaggery) itself is enough to get his blessings. There is no big cooking process in this recipe. We are just heating jaggery to melt so that we could strain the juice get rid off any sand or dust in jaggery. Otherwise its just mixing of soft aval and jaggery juice.
