Instructions

1
Prepare the Poha
- Place the thick poha in a large sieve or colander.
- Rinse it under cold running water for about 30-40 seconds, gently tossing with your fingers until it becomes soft but not mushy.
- It is crucial not to over-soak the poha. Shake the colander vigorously to drain all excess water.
- Set the drained poha aside for 5 minutes to allow it to absorb the residual moisture and fluff up.

Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, transfer the fluffed-up poha.
Add the grated jaggery, freshly grated coconut, cardamom powder, and salt to the bowl.

Mix and Rest

Using your fingertips or a light spoon, gently mix all the ingredients together. Avoid mashing the poha flakes to maintain their texture.
Continue mixing until the jaggery begins to melt slightly and evenly coats the poha.
Let the mixture rest for another 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully and the poha to absorb the sweetness from the jaggery.

Serve

Give the mixture one final gentle toss.
Serve immediately. Kalayile Phovu is best enjoyed fresh for the perfect texture and flavor.
