In this poha recipe I soaked poha in milk and used mixture of nuts while cooking that gives poha rich taste and that why it is called shahi poha or shahi pohe. This poha can be made with or without onions. You can also use potao cubes in this poha recipe that many people prefer.
This poha recipe is super easy if you keep few things in mind:
- – After washing poha soak it in milk for 10-15 minutes. This will make poha soft and tasty.
- – Do not overcook the poha or stir the poha too many times to avoid it getting mushy.
- – Choose the medium variety of poha. Not too thick nor too thin.
- – To keep poha moist add little milk at the end.
In this shahi poha I used cashews and almonds you can also use some peanuts along with them. Also raisins are added to give this poha required and sufficient sweetness.
