Thanks for sharing this!<br /><br />Lately I've noticed varied poha grains at the local Indian grocers, in addition to rice. I bought some corn poha, and the wheat looks tempting. Are there changes you recommend with these other pohas, or can I follow the recipe as posted?<br /><br />Warm regards,<br />Leland Stone<br />www.birthdaypartymagicshows.comLeland Stonehttp://www.orangecountybirthdaypartymagicshows.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19595917.post-48508097127013126922010-05-14T13:00:35.662-04:002010-05-14T13:00:35.662-04:00Thank you Tina for the recipe.

We make poha at home in pretty much the same way, except that we don't use any turmeric powder and potato, and we use coconut oil instead of refined oil. A friend of mine prepares poha with husked green gram and orange juice/musambi juice. She says it tastes fantastic with sweetlime juice! <BR/><BR/>We also make a sweet dish with poha. In the evenings, when there isn't anything interesting to munch at home, we wash some poha and add some sugar to it. After about 20 minutes, by which time the sugar would have soaked in nicely, we add some grated coconut to it and eat. Simple and easy to prepare, it makes for a great evening snack! <BR/><BR/>Meenakshi at PRITYAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19595917.post-1138717158260152272006-01-31T09:19:00.000-05:002006-01-31T09:19:00.000-05:00Thanks Tina, I'll try with the thick one next time...Thanks Tina, I'll try with the thick one next time.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07938245544735604650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19595917.post-1136900948779595042006-01-10T08:49:00.000-05:002006-01-10T08:49:00.000-05:00Hi Kay,Dont use thin poha...

Usually I just cook mine on low on top of a rice flame tamer. Do you heat up one pot and then put another pot inside it - both covered? And that doesn't singe the bottom of the pots? Or am I misunderstanding the technique?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
