How To Make Batata Poha Recipe
how to make batata pohe. I have taken for cups pohe here. It is very important which pohe to use this variety is thick poha and its slightly aged poha too. It is very important that you use thick poha only. The other variety of Poha that are available are the thin once that are used in chivda, if you use them then they will become mashed and mushy and you will not enjoy having them,
How To Wash Poha
So thick and aged poha is very important, once you have taken the right kind of Poha then we have to completely wash the poha now, And add water and with gentle hands wash the poha completely, don’t rub too much otherwise the poha will break apart, And quickly strain and discard the water, once you have strained the poha then rock the sieve a little bit to let all the access water to drain out, now let the pour stay in the sieve like this,
One More Thing
So that if there is any more water it will continue to drain, and your poha will continue to show in the sieve, And you don’t need to drench the poha in water to show them, in fact I will tell you one more thing that if you add poha in a s i e v e, And just wash in a sieve, that much is enough too. So skip the first step, take poha in a sieve, add water and wash it gently,
And then leave it as is, your poha will soak perfectly and stay fluffy, and soak the poha just like this, it will result in great poha,
What takes about 10 minute to soak, so I have left the poha aside, and after that we will anyway need 10 minutes to cook the onions potato and etc,so I am cooking it simultaneously here until our poha is soaking,
