Konkani phovu recipes are both sweet and savory. Savory Poha recipes are similar to Maharashtrian Dadpe Pohe. Today I am sharing a simple sweet recipe which needs only 5 ingredients. And with thawed frozen coconut, I need less than 15 minutes for this sweet treat.
This recipe can also be made by preparing a sugar syrup, but I always go with the easiest one.
Ingredients:
Thin Poha/Parched Rice - about 3 cups
Grated Coconut (fresh or frozen) - about 1 cup
Jaggery/Gud/Gul - about 2 tbsp
Green Cardamom/Elaichi - 1 pod
Milk or Coconut Water - few drops (optional)
How to make Goda Phovu:
- Crush the cardamom seeds in a mortar pestle to a fine powder.
- Sift the parched rice in a strainer so that the powder falls off. In a mixing bowl add (sifted) thin poha, shredded coconut, grated jaggery, ground cardamom and mix well with hands. Coconut softens the parched rice. If required, sprinkle few drops of coconut water or milk or water. You don't have to be precise with the ingredients, all are approximate amounts.
Simply yummy!!
