Notes

  • If you like garlic flavour just add 1 crushed garlic along with the curry leaves.
    Raisins give a nice sweet crunch while eating so don't skip it.
  • Fry each ingredient separately.
  • While frying poha make sure oil is just for the poha to immerse else poha will drink more oil.
  • You can even use a strainer to fry poha. Add poha to a strainer and dip it inside oil in that case you can add more oil so that poha immerses well in oil.
  • Adding sesame seeds is optional.
  • This keeps well even for 2 weeks when stored in airtight container.
