Notes

  • Only Thick Quality Poha Works well for this Recipe.
  • Be careful in adding water ,measure the ratio of water and add. If poha is very thick ,it may take up to 1  ⅓ cups of water or else poha to water ratio will be 2 :1 .
  • If you add less water , it will be very dry to eat , if you add more water it becomes soggy . So add water carefully ,as it depends on the quality of poha you use.
