NOTES/TIPS If you are using the thick variety of poha, wash and sprinkle little water and then set aside for 15 minutes.  It helps the poha to become soft. If using the thin variety, just drain the water completely and set aside for 10-15 minutes. Add jaggery according to the sweetness desired by you. Ensure that the jaggery used is without any impurities.  Otherwise, you can strain the jaggery water with the help of a strainer, before adding the poha to it.
