Preparations
In a thick bottom kadai put a tablespoon of ghee and fry the avil (poha) till it becomes crisp and slightly changes its colour. Remove and put it on a plate.
Same kadai put the peanut and fry till it becomes light brown. Remove and set aside.
Fry the pottu Kadalai till it’s hot to touch and remove.
Then add sesame and fry till it starts crackling and remove.
Allow all the fried items to cool.
First put the avil along with cardamom in a mixer jar and grind it to a powder. Transfer it to a broad vessel.
Then add fried peanut, pottu Kadalai and sesame and grind it to a fine powder.
Before removing from the mixer jar, add jaggery powder and run the mixer for few seconds.
Add this to the avil powder and mix well.
If you are using cashew and raisins, fry in a teaspoon of ghee and add to avil powder.
Heat the remaining ghee and add it to the avil powder and mix well.
Take a handful of the powder and press it into a small lemon size ball. Finish all the powder like this.
