  • 100 ml, as needed cool drinking water to thin
  • 20 g finely chopped onion (optional)

Make it, step by step

  1. Boil the cooking water. Add aval / poha and simmer, stirring, until completely soft; add water as needed for thicker aval / poha.

  3. Whisk curd smooth; stir into the cooled base with cumin, salt and cool drinking water until spoonable or drinkable.
  4. Add optional onion and serve freshly made; refrigerate promptly if serving later.

  • Whisk the curd smooth before folding it into the cooled aval / poha base; this avoids curd lumps in the finished koozh.

Cooking and storage

  • Prepare freshly without overnight fermentation. Thick aval / poha may need longer than the estimated total.
