What to get ready

  • Photograph of Poha flat rice Poha flat rice 14.1 oz
  • Photograph of Coconut milk Coconut milk 8 ½ cups
  • Photograph of Palm sugar Palm sugar 1.2 lb
  • Photograph of Cardamom Cardamom 0.7 oz
  • Photograph of Ghee Ghee 5.6 oz
  • Photograph of Shredded coconut Shredded coconut 7.1 oz
  • Photograph of Cashews Cashews 4.9 oz
  • Photograph of Raisins Raisins 4.2 oz

Method

  1. 1 Boil the flat rice for 8 minutes, then rinse with cold water and drain to separate the pieces.
  2. 2 Rinsing with cold water is mandatory; if the flattened rice isn't rinsed, it will clump together in the pot of rice porridge.
  3. 3 Boil palm sugar with 150 ml of water, then strain to remove any sediment.
  4. 4 Boil the sugar water with the flattened rice for 12 minutes until the rice absorbs the brown color.
  5. 5 Pour in the diluted coconut milk and cook for 10 minutes, then add the thickened coconut milk and turn off the heat immediately.
  6. 6 Thick coconut milk, when heated for a long time, will release its oil; roast cashews, raisins, and grated coconut in ghee and then sprinkle them on top.

With an appliance

  • Microwave 56 min

    Replace step 5: put the flattened rice, sugar syrup, and diluted coconut milk into a deep bowl, microwave at 700W for 8 minutes, stirring once midway; reduce stirring by about 2 minutes so the coconut milk heats evenly without sticking to the bottom and the rice pieces break less due to less stirring. The thickened coconut milk should still be added after the heat has stopped, as in steps 5-6, to prevent oil separation.
