Poha Thin

Thin poha is the delicate one and it has a completely different job from the thick. It does not want soaking at all.

Use it dry. This is the poha for chivda, roasted with peanuts, curry leaf and turmeric into a snack mix.

It can also be crushed as a coating for frying, or used as a thickener. If you try to make breakfast poha with it you will end up with paste, which is a mistake most people make exactly once.

Available at Curry Corner in North Melbourne.
