Serves: 4
RecipeIngredients
  • 2 cups thick poha
  • ¾ cup grated coconut (fresh or fresh frozen*)
  • 1 cup chopped mixed nuts (I like to use a mix of pecans and walnuts)
  • 2 tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp ground ginger
  • 2 Tbsp coconut sugar (or raisins**)
RecipeInstructions
  1. In a large strainer, add the poha. Then run the strainer through tap water for about 1 minute washing the poha with your hands. Then keep this strainer on top of a pot or a large bowl for the excess water to go away. Keep aside for 10-15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, add all the rest of the ingredients. Then add the poha and toss everything well either with your hands or using a wooden spatula.
  3. Serve immediately.
  4. You can refrigerate this for up to 3 days.
Notes
*: If using frozen grated coconut, thaw in microwave for 30-40 seconds to get it to room temperature.
**: You can omit coconut sugar and just use raisins or chopped dates instead a sa sweetener.
