How to make milk poha recipe

1. Clean poha well. You can use white or red poha. I generally dry roast them and sieve to remove fine debris if any. Store them in a jar. Roasting is optional. If you are particular about hygiene, you can rinse them well in water and use. If using for toddlers, Rinse in clean filtered water. use hot milk and soak for a while.

I have used 2/3 rd portion white and 1/3 portion red. The red flakes I used are thick and quite hard so i used in lesser quantity. If you like to use all red poha, then you will need to soak them for at least 30 mins in hot milk.

2. Add your favorite chopped or sliced nuts and dates. I used sliced pistachios and almonds. Since I did not have dates I used thickened jaggery syrup. You can also use organic sugar or any other sweetener.

3. Pour hot or at least warm milk as desired. If You like soft poha, soak it for a while. We like to have it after 5 mins when they are slightly softened.
