Key Questions Answered
For this recipe, you take about 1 cup of poha and grind it finely in a mixer grinder without soaking. The resulting fine powder is used to bind the potato mixture and give the snack a crispy texture.
To enhance the flavor of the mixture, you add salt to taste, chili flakes, cumin, finely grated garlic, and chopped green coriander. All these ingredients are thoroughly mixed by hand to form a workable dough.
Take a small portion of the mixture, roll it between your hands, place it inside a clean plastic sheet or zip-lock bag, and press lightly to create thin, long strips. Carefully drop these strips into moderately hot oil and fry them on medium heat, flipping occasionally until golden and crispy.
