Rather it's thick poha that makes awesome poha.You can soak it in water...wait for it to fluff up ( use a strainer)...and the poha comesawesome.Maharashtrian style...separate...thin poha only makes for some crispy, oily alternative. Try it with thick Poha...i promise it will come better. Also, try adding muttar ( green peas) ...and cant callit konkani without coconut! :) cheers <em>Shilpa: Here the poha is not heated and this is not similar to Maharastrian pohe(which requires thick poha). This kind is always made with thin poha. But again, it is your choice, if u want to make with thick variety, you can do that :).</em> I do not agree that thin poha makes better pohe.

I made this for a snack - and have a question about the texture of the dish. I know the poha isn't soaked, you just sprinkle water on it to moisten it - so when you eat a bite, the texture should have no dry/slightly crunchy pieces right? You should add enough water to moisten it through - is that right? The reason I ask is, when I did this, my poha started sticking together in small clumps and breaking up a little. Is that the expected texture? Thanks! Minti <em>Shilpa: Minti, when you make this, add water in steps instead of adding at once. Just add a handful first and mix it very well with hand. Leave it for 2 mins or so and see if all the poha has got moistened. If not, then only add little more. Break out any lumps formed by hand. There should not be any lumps, if the poha breaks, thats fine because that is expected. Some people even leave some poha dry, but I don't prefer that because it becomes extremely difficult to eat.</em> Hi Shilpa,
