2 cup Curd (Thick, full-fat, and fresh)

Instructions

1
Prepare the Flattened Rice (Sira)
- Place the thick poha into a fine-mesh sieve or colander.
- Rinse it under cool, gentle running water for about 20-30 seconds, moving it around with your fingers to ensure all grains are moistened.
- Immediately stop rinsing and shake the sieve well to drain all excess water. Do not soak the poha.
- Let the poha rest in the sieve for 5-7 minutes. It will absorb the residual moisture and become soft and fluffy.

Assemble the Sira Jolpan

Once the poha is soft, divide it equally among four serving bowls.
Pour about 1/2 cup of thick, whisked curd over the poha in each bowl.
Generously sprinkle 2 tablespoons of grated or powdered jaggery over the curd.
Arrange the fresh banana slices on top.
For a richer, more traditional taste, drizzle 1 tablespoon of fresh cream over each serving (optional).

Serve Immediately

Serve the Sira Jolpan immediately to enjoy the contrast of the cool curd and soft poha.
Encourage everyone to mix the ingredients in their bowl just before eating to combine the sweet, tangy, and creamy flavors.
