The combination of carbohydrates from poha and simple sugars from jaggery provides a rapid source of energy, making this an excellent breakfast or snack to start your day or overcome a slump.
Poha is a form of processed rice that is light on the stomach and easy to digest. It acts as a probiotic in the gut, promoting the growth of healthy bacteria.
Jaggery is an unrefined sugar that retains more of its natural minerals. It is a good plant-based source of iron, which is essential for preventing anemia and maintaining healthy blood cells.
It is essential to use thick poha, also known as 'jad fov' or 'dada poha'. Thin or medium varieties are too delicate and will break down into a mushy paste when cooked in the coconut milk.
Yes, you can substitute jaggery with an equal amount of brown sugar, coconut sugar, or regular granulated sugar. However, jaggery provides a traditional, earthy sweetness and caramel-like flavor that is authentic to the dish.
Rosatle Fov is best eaten fresh. If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day. Reheat gently in a pan with a splash of milk or water to restore some of its creaminess, as it tends to dry out.
Rosatle Fov is a traditional, energy-dense dish. It's rich in carbohydrates from poha and jaggery, providing a quick energy boost. Jaggery offers minerals like iron. However, it is high in calories and natural sugars due to the coconut milk and jaggery, so it should be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
One serving of Rosatle Fov (approximately 1 cup or 175g) contains around 540 calories. The calorie count can vary based on the fat content of the coconut milk and the exact amount of jaggery and ghee used.
