Add a cup of thin poha into a microwave-safe bowl.

Microwave it for 1 minute.

  3. Hi,

    I don't know your (Indian Groceries) name to mention. What you said was correct. Generally people do add sugar to their Chevada. But actually we don't like that flavour so didn't add to my recipe. But I might have kept this as a note to the recipe which I didn't sorry for that.
