- 2 cups milk skimmed, plant based like soy, cashew or almonds
- 1/2 cup riceflakes poha/ aval/ avalakki
- 2 tbsp jaggery grated / syrup
- 2 tbsp Assorted nuts crushed
- saffron few strands
- 1/4 tsp cardamom powder
Wash riceflakes and set aside
Five minutes before serving, add soaked pauva to the masala milk. Mix and then serve
Top with more crushed nuts and serve.
In a pan, boil milk. Once it is boiled, switch off the flame. if using plant based milks warm up the milk.
In a bowl add milk, saffron strands and cardamom powder
To assemble , add the desired amount of poha to the bowl. Top with the flavoured milk, sprinkle in the jaggery and top with nuts
Serve after two minutes so that the rice flakes can soften too.
Serve with mixed fruits.
Plant based milks taste wonderful too but then mind the soaking time of the rice flakes.
I store the jaggery as a syrup by boiling it in water till a honey texture and strain out the impurities.
