Notes

  1. Can add Fried gram, almonds , raisin or any other Nuts or dry fruits  of your choice
  2. Instead of baking, you can also deep fry flattened rice, and shallow fry puffed rice. Combine everything together
  3. Baking time may vary from oven go oven 
  4. I have a never user thick poha
  5. Poha can also be microwaved for 3/4 minute in small batches
  6. If you prefer more pori adjust accordingly 
  7. Chilli powder, garlic powder,garam masala, etc. can be added for extra flavor
  8. Hing can be added for extra flavor
  9. Store it in an airtight container to retain freshness
