Poha is one of the main items of Konkani breakfast/snack. Depennding upon individual taste there are many varieties in it. There are some types on this blog – kalayil phovu, jeere kalayil phovu. The one with green chillies is another very popular type. These pohas are not heated, they are just mixed with hand. So thin poha is most suitable for these.
Some people do not add sugar and hence diabetics can also enjoy it. But many people like it when sugar is added. When my children were small, we used to make two batches, one with sugar for them and another without sugar for all the elders at home.
Ingredients:
1 cup thin phoha
1/2 cup grated coconut(fresh/frozen)
2 tea spn green chilli pieces
1 tea spn ginger pieces
Salt
1 tea spn sugar (optional)
Method:
Crush the green chilli pieces and ginger pieces finely with salt using your fingers.Mix it with grated coconut. Add sugar over this, mix. Add poha to this mixture and mix well. Sprinkle a handful of water and mix well (do not add too much water). Serve immidiately .You can eat it with sev or any spicy mixture or on its own.
Serves : 1-2
Preparation time : 10mins

This is really nice shilpa, will it not have the raw smell if not sauted?
No it won’t. That is why the thin poha is used and ginger, coconut give a flavor to it
You brought back memories of breakfast when I was a child. I haven’t eaten this in a loong time. Thanks for the recipe.
Hi,

Poha Opkari this is also the best breakfast i used to have which my mom made
very interesting and so quick! we add a little curd with green chillies, and don’t use ginger.
Varadmayi, You reminded me of my childhood days with this phovu. We call this “alle phovu” or “kallya phovu” in Mangalore. This is served in the temple on the last day of the Bhajana Saptaha. During the saptaha, the kallayilo godu phovu/lhayi used to be served. on the last day this “tikso midso” phovu really tastes very nice.Thanks for the nice presentation.
This is my all time fav, i really love
This is a new way of making poha for me ,thanks for recipe.A neighbour once mentioned using tender coconut water to moisten the poha do you do it that way too?
No, haven’t tried it.
In mumbai, we call it ‘Dadape Pohe’. Its easy to make breakfast

I recently shifted to new city and have left my family behind. I like your reciepe, tried pohvu but found that i didnot have either green chilles or coconut so added red chilli flakes.. well turned out decent.. We can garnish it with coriander leaves… I love that when my wife does prepares it this way..

This can become tastier if you add onions. We first mix onions green chilly,ginger,salt & sugar well then addd thin poha. Try it it becomes tastier (you have to like raw onion)
