How to Use Neal Flake Rice Thick 300g

Classic Poha Breakfast (Kanda Poha)

Rinse 1.5 cups of Neal Flake Rice Thick under cold water for 30–60 seconds until just softened — do not soak. Drain and set aside. Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds and allow to splutter. Add curry leaves, green chilli, and finely sliced onions and cook until soft. Add turmeric, salt, and the rinsed poha. Stir gently to combine, cover, and cook on low heat for 3–4 minutes. Garnish with fresh coriander, lemon juice, and sev. Serve hot.

Savoury Chivda (Snack Mix)

Dry roast 2 cups of thick poha in a pan on low heat until crisp and lightly golden. In a separate pan, heat oil and fry peanuts, cashews, curry leaves, and dried chillies. Add the roasted poha, turmeric, sugar, and salt. Toss well and cool completely before storing in an airtight container. Stays crispy for up to 2 weeks.

Poha Chaat

Rinse and drain thick poha until just softened. Toss with chopped onion, tomato, cucumber, green chilli, chaat masala, lemon juice, and fresh coriander. Top with sev and pomegranate seeds for a light, refreshing snack or starter.

Sweet Poha (Doodh Poha)

Rinse thick poha briefly and drain. Soak in cold milk for 5 minutes until softened. Sweeten with sugar or jaggery, add cardamom powder, and top with sliced banana and a handful of nuts. A simple, nourishing breakfast or dessert enjoyed across Maharashtra and Gujarat.

Storage

Store Neal Flake Rice Thick 300g in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. Once opened, use within 2–3 months for best quality. Keep away from strong odours as rice flakes can absorb surrounding smells.
