Steps

10 minutes

1

Take a heavy based kadai or a pan, add the jowar poha to it. Heat it over low flame and roast the poha until it turns crisp. Stir them gently with a spatula or toss them lightly by holding the pan (or kadai) handles at regular intervals to roast them evenly and prevent them from burning. Don’t stir the poha too much with a spatula as they might break.
2

After roasting the poha, they might not change in color but they will be crisp. You can check whether poha are roasted or not by taking a few poha and crush them using your fingers. If they can be crushed easily then they are ready, else roast them for a few more minutes. It will take approx. 4-5 minutes to roast the poha but it might take more or less time depending on the size and thickness of the pan (kadai). Transfer them in a bowl or a plate.
