Why you should try this Sweet Poha?

This recipe of inipu aval aka sweet aval is my mother's. This was her snack when she is fasting the whole day. She will come home from work, quickly mix everything up, offer it to God and eat.

A simple to make recipe. She never used milk in her sweet aval. I m using very little quantity to wet and make the rice flakes soft.

Coconut milk and fresh coconut makes the recipe delicious and sweetly aromatic. Not to forget it is Gluten-free and Vegan too.

Spices, i have added cardamom, clove and dry ginger powder to flavor the sweet poha.
