Here is a simple sweet I tried from http://eq-myblog.blogspot.com/2011/0...ce-flakes.html . It turned out good. I am posting the recipe here for easy reference. Thanks to the blogger for the recipe.

Cocoa Aval Urundai :

Ingredients:- (Makes 15)
Aval / Rice Flakes - 1 Cup (approx 75 gms)
Sugar - 1 Cup
Cocoa Powder - 1 tbsp - to taste
Cashews - 1/2 cup - to taste
Green Pistachios - 1/4 cup - to taste
Cardamom - 2 to 3 pods
Dessicated coconut - to taste
Raisins - for garnish (optional)
Ghee (clarified butter) - 1/2 cup - as needed

Dry roast rice flakes till golden brown. Care should be taken not to scorch/burn them !

Grind together the roasted rice flakes, cashews, pistachios, sugar, cardamom and the coconut into a fine powder. Add cocoa powder and give it a quick pulse.

Heat the ghee and let it remain on low flame. On a lightly greased plate/tray spill the powdered contents and garnish them with raisins (u can also add sliced dessicated coconut or cashews) .

Add hot ghee little by little as needed and shape it into laddoos. The hot liquid helps in shaping them; i have to say my rounds are not perfect but am getting there ! The quantity of ghee specified can be adjusted as needed.

Yummmm!!!...
