ORGANIC ORIGINS Pure Deshi Red Poha, Sakhi SHG, Natural, Chemical Free, 500gm

Red poha (lal pohe) in a 500 g pack, from Sakhi Self Help Group in Kolhapur district, sold under the ORGANIC ORIGINS brand name.

What it is

Poha is flattened rice. Red poha is made from red rice, so the flakes keep a reddish-brown colour and have a nuttier taste and a chewier bite than white poha.

How to use it

Rinse the poha in a colander under running water, drain well and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before cooking. Red poha usually takes a little longer to soften than white poha, so taste a flake before you start your tadka. Use it for kanda pohe, batata pohe, dadpe pohe or a roasted chivda.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from moisture.
