FAQS

  1. How do I prepare poha for cooking?

    To prepare poha, rinse 1 cup of flattened rice in water until it's clean and slightly softened. Make sure to drain the excess water before cooking to achieve the perfect texture.

  2. Is poha suitable for gluten-free diets?

    Yes, poha is naturally gluten-free as it is made from rice. This makes it a great breakfast option for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.

  3. What can I substitute for peanuts in poha?

    If you're allergic to peanuts or prefer not to use them, you can substitute with roasted cashews or sunflower seeds for a similar crunch. You can also omit them entirely for a nut-free version.

  4. How should I store leftover poha?

    Leftover poha can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, add a splash of water and microwave or sauté in a pan until heated through.

  5. What are some good side dishes to serve with poha?

    Poha pairs well with a side of yogurt or raita for a refreshing contrast. You can also serve it with pickles or a simple salad to enhance the meal.
