In a pan on medium to medium-low flame, add poha and roast on low flame until crispy.
1 cup Poha , thick
Once the poha cools down, transfer it to a blender and blend it to a smooth powder. Add jaggery and cardamom pods to the same blender containing powdered poha and grind to obtain a coarse mixture.
⅓ cup Jaggery, 3 Cardamom pods ( or Cardamom powder)
Transfer the mixture to the bowl and mix to break lumps, if any.
In a pan on medium flame, add ghee and cashews and saute until nuts turn light golden. Add this to the poha jaggery mixture. Check out the video here
2 tablespoon Cashews , finely chopped, 3 tablespoon Ghee, more or less as required
MAKING OF POHA LADDU OR LADOO OR POVA LADDOO OR AVALAKKI UNDE
Nicely mix the mixture with your hands. If you are able to shape them into balls, then start making laddus. If they are not binding together, add another 1 tablespoon of ghee or milk so that the mixture binds well together.
Shape into laddu of the desired size. Store poha laddus in an airtight container. Serve as desired.

Notes
I love to use ghee as a binding agent, especially while making sweets like laddu. If you want to cut down on ghee, you can add milk instead. Adding milk reduces the shelf-life of these laddus.
If you are not able to bind laddu properly, then add more ghee or milk.
I have used finely chopped cashews. You can add raisins, almonds, or any nut combination of your choice.
I have used thick poha while making the recipe. If you plan to use the thin variety of poha, just double the amount of poha. Even red or brown or white poha can be used.
Dry roast the poha on medium to medium-low flame until crispy and keep stirring for even roasting
