    I love poha and this variation turned yummy. The combined flavours gave a great flavour.

    Thanks for sharing the recipe!

    Q:Can you tell me how to maintain heat of poha for a long time, after cooking. I understand since it does not have any starch it does not maintain heat for a longer time. Help please 🙂

      To keep poha warm, you can press the cooked poha with a flat spoon and keep it covered. Moreover, any dish will be cold after sometime. So you can keep it in hotpack or just microwave it for few seconds before serving.
