    If looking for a vegan option then replace cow's milk with almond milk and honey with maple syrup . Poha, Cococnut , Jaggery with cardamom flavor itself is a great way to indulge with this.

    Frequently asked questions

    Can I use thin Poha?

    No , either thick or medium thick Poha works well for this recipe. As thin variant poha turns soggy with milk and powdered jaggey .

    Why did my recipe turned soggy?

    If you don't drain water well and rinse for longer time, then there are chances of poha turning soggy.

    Why was Poha, very dry to swallow?

    Incase if you use thick variant poha and if you don't give more resting time, then poha may be dry to swallow. In that case , sprinkle 1-2 tablespoon more milk and let it sit for extra 5 minutes more .

    Is this recipe same as Poha Panchakajaya?

    No , this is different . Panchakajaya is a dry version and thin variant Poha is used along with Ghee, Coconut , Jaggery and sesame seeds.
