Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup red poha
  • 1/4 cup grated coconut
  • 1/4 cup jaggery powder
  • 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
  • Chopped cashews or nuts of your choice
  • 1 banana chopped
  • Salt to taste

Method
 

  1. Rinse the red poha in a bowl and drain well.
  2. Add a small pinch of salt.
  3. Add water as needed, less than 1/4 cup, mix lightly and cover for 10 minutes to soften.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix grated coconut, jaggery and cardamom powder.
  5. Add this mixture to the softened poha and combine gently.
  6. Add chopped nuts.
  7. Add the banana, mashing some pieces into the poha to help it bind.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Do not add too much water or the poha may turn mushy.
  • Use soft jaggery so it blends easily.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less banana.
  • Add raisins for extra sweetness if you like.
  • Since this recipe is not cooked, consume within two hours for freshness.
