POHA LADDOO


Today is also the birthday of Sri Sathya Sai Baba,apart from being Thanksgiving day.I wanted to prepare some sweet for naivedyam as well as for thanksgiving day.I came across Chandrika's Aval Laddoo, which looked very easy to make.

I did not add the coconut(forgot to add!!) .I also decided to make it low calorie by using artificial sweetener in place of sugar.The result is an extremely light and crunchy Laddoo.Thanks for sharing the recipe,Chandrika.

I have been meaning to make this as well. Seems too easy to pass.

Vini, if you don't mind I would like to tell you something. Artifical sweetener is 10 times worse than real sugar. It is better for you use realy sugar and the chemically producted sweeteners. Have little google on the net for aspartime (or whatever was in your sweetener). Just thought I would let you know as it better you add a few calories rather than get the side effects of the stuff. Just thought I would let you know.

Hey Praveen,Thanks for the information.I will surely do more research on this before I use it in any other recipe.I always thought that is is not safe to give to kids.But you never know!

Anyway,do give it a try.Real easy to make and nutritious too,with the nuts in it.We all have Chandrika to thank for!:-)

Hey Sia,Good to hear from you!do send me the mail if you find it.I am trying to look on the web for more info regarding artificial sweeteners.

Poha laddo is sooo easy to make..Very quick recipe.I never heard it either until I came across the recipe in a telugu magazine.That recipe I did not like though, and continued my search until I found Chandrika's recipe.

Godd to know that it was Sai Baba's birthday on Thanksgiving day. I liked your ideal of adding artificial sweetner in place of sugar.
