Notes
- The amount of Yogurt can be varied , ½ cup is perfect neither its dry nor too soggy. If you want it to be more flowing consistency ,extra milk or yogurt can be added.
- I have used medium thick poha , if you are using thick variety then wash and soak it for 2 -5 minutes, drain water completely before use.
