Aval unda or Poha laddu or Sweetened rice flake balls

Rice flakes is just the flattened form of rice. In south India it forms a prominent part of the diet, especially the breakfast.There are many ways in which Poha or rice flakes can be confused. As individually it doesn't have a strong taste it can be easily blended with any flavors. In this recipe i have tried the sweetened version of it in such a manner that all the ingredients together compliment the taste of the dish.

Ingredients:

Flattened rice flakes (paper flat ones): 2 cups 
Powdered sugar: 1 1/2 cups
Grated coconut: 1/4rth cup
Vanilla essence: 2 drops

Procedure:

Roast the flattened rice flake for 5 minutes. Keep aside for cooling. Grind them into granules. Mix the rest of the ingredients to it.In case the mixture isn't sticky enough to roll, a few drops of water can be added to it. now, slowly roll them on your palms to make small balls of them and serve. I have used fresh grated coconut in this recipe therefore, the required moisture is released when mixed with powdered sugar.*-> please do note that if you do not prefer this level of sweetness, you can reduce the sugar level but make sure not to spoil the taste.
