Dear ladies, I bought a packet of thin poha (aval) by mistake. I usually use thick aval for making poha. When I tried with the thin variety, it came out like a lump :-( Any recipes where I could use this? Please suggest!
You can prepare sweet poha. Mix coconut and jaggery. To that you can add thin poha. If you need sprinkle some water. It tastes good
u can use thin poha too for a poha. dont soak it just sprinkle water or buttermilk or tamarind water to poha n do asusal to make poha.try dis n let me know the result
Hi dear.We use thin poha for making dadpe pohe.Here's the recipe. In a bowl mix finely chopped onions, finely chopped tomatoes,roasted peanuts,salt,sugar and lemon juice.Add the thin poha and mix well.We use it without washing like we do for semolina otherwise it becomes mushy.This poha doesn't need to be cooked...just add the hot tempering and it is done.n a pan add some oil.Add mustard seeds,green chillies allow it to temper.Then add this to the poha and mix well.If you want you can garnish with some fried crushed papad.
If you just want to use it up and finish it, use in some dosa batters or idli batters or run it in mixie and use it instead of rice flour ! Check http://www.indusladies.com/forums/recipe-central/260488-leftovers-in-a-new-avatar.html for some dosa recipes with poha
you can still make poha with thin variety. Just follow this method (even for any variety of poha) Take a soup strainer. Put the required poha. Show it under a running tap till it becomes damp Leave the strainer with moistened poha aside and do the preparations. follow your normal procedure. You will get perfect poha.
you can use this poha while soaking rice and urdu dhal for your idali batter, This makes the batter white and soft. You can just wash and keep it the strainer and can add sugar and coconut tiruvals and can be eaten as evening snacks. You can add while making payasam but see that u add it at the end. Some of the poha, i keep in the plate and when i make chicken fry, i add the chicken which is kept with masala and press before dipping into the oil on this poha. the poha gets around in the chicken and when it fried it give a crispy nature to chicken fry and serve hot to my son, he loves this taste.
