Red aval ladoo is a healthy and delicious ladoo prepared from red poha/aval/flattened rice, sugar, cardamom powder and nuts. This ladoo can be prepared in less than half an hour as it is made with less ingredients. Red aval ladoos are prepared mostly on festive occasions like Krishna Jayanthi or Navaratri. You can replace red poha with white poha which also tastes equally delicious. Cardamom flavour added to it gives a nice flavour to the ladoos.
