Pin Nel Pori Urundai and Aval Pori Urundai are the two popular recipes they make for Karthigai Deepam. Back during my childhood days I have never seen my ammama or amma making pori urundai at home for Karthigai Deepam.For us Karthigai deepam was only about lighting lamps and bursting leftover crackers from Diwali.So when I first started blogging making pori urundai at home was fascinating for me, and felt proud when I got it right, also amma was all praises for me. I have made Pori Urundai many times so now a bit confident with the consistency check. The consistency check is not that difficult ,it comes just by practise. So I bought a pack of Nel Pori and made this pori urundai to post it here.As Karthigai Deepam is on Dec 5th am sure all shops will be stocked up with all varieties of pori like arisi pori,aval pori and nel pori. You can check out Maa Vilakku Recipe and all the Karthigai Deepam Recipes that I posted a while back.
About the Nel Pori Urundai
Make jaggery syrup: Take jaggery and water in a pan, strain to remove impurities with no consistency checks.Again add it to pan and heat it up for making jaggery syrup. Jaggery syrup consistency : First it will form soft loose ball then forms a firm hard ball when thrown on a vessel will give a tang sound.This is the jaggery syrup consistency we need. Shape into balls:Add the pori, mix well until evenly distributed then shape into balls immediately.
What is Pori urundai? Pori urundai is a crispy sweet snack made with puffed rice(pori) and jaggery as main ingredients.It can be made as a regular snack too but it is traditionally made for Karthigai Deepam festival. What type of pori to use? You can either use aval pori as I have used here or nelpori too. This recipe can be used to make kadala mittai, pottukadalai urundai too. What type of jaggery to use and consistency to check for pori urundai? You can use any jaggery variety either the powdered ones or the hard balls. Just crush jaggery with water to get it dissolved easily.We need hard ball consistency in jaggery syrup for pori urundai. Pori hardens – not able to shape into balls? Just heat up the pan for the pori to loosen, gather using a spatula then you can shape them into balls.
Storing and Serving Suggestions:
Store in an airtight container keeps well for about 10 days in room temperature itself. I wouldn’t recommend freezing or storing in fridge for later use, the syrup may harden and will be almost inedible. Pin

Expert Tips
Make sure to clean the nel pori first then start with the pori making process. Be careful in checking the consistency else making them into balls will be tough. Be little quick while shaping the balls. You can make pori urundai will soft ball consistency too.I have made both with soft and hard ball consistencies, both taste good. If it hardens in the end for the last few balls then heat up the mixture for a minute to loosen then make balls. The color of the pori urundai totally depends on the jaggery variety. The method is the same for making aval pori urundai and also kadala urundai.
