Instructions
 

Prepare the Poha

  • Rinse the poha thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain completely and set aside.

Cook the Kheer

  • Boil the milk in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat.

Add Poha and Sugar

  • Once boiling, gently add the rinsed poha to the milk. Stir continuously to prevent sticking.
  • Add sugar and stir well to dissolve completely.

Simmer and Cook

  • Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the poha is cooked through and the milk has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.

Finish and Garnish

  • Remove from heat and stir in the cardamom powder.
  • Add the chopped cashews, almonds, raisins, and shredded coconut. Mix well.

Serve

  • Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!
