Kurkurit Fov (Crispy Pohe)

A sunday breakfast my mom used to make often!

Fov means Beaten rice in Konkani. Also known as Avalakki in Kannada and Poha in Marathi.

Ingredients:
1 cup flat beaten rice/fov
1/2 cup freshly grated coconut
2-3 green chillies
2 tea spn sugar
oil for deep frying
salt to taste

Method:
Take the coconut in a plate, add green chillies, sugar and salt. Mix well. Cover and keep aside.

Clean the poha ( do not wash in water!).
Heat oil in a Kadai. Put 1/4 of the poha in the oil. Fry till slightly brown. Remove on pan covered with paper. Follow with rest of the poha.

Serving Instruction :Put small amount of the crispy poha in a small bowl. Add 3-4 tbls spn of the coconut mixture on this and mix well.
(Do not mix the coconut and poha. The poha will get moist, hence mix just before serving)

Enjoy a Crispy breakfast :)

Tip: You can fry extra poha and store in a airtight container, if you intend to make this again. Just prepare the coconut mixture and serve!
