Memories of Kojagiri Poornima are always accompanied by Masala Dudh, Dudh Pohe & Gul Pohe. And to balance these sweet preparations was the ever favorite Batate Pohe. The best part was of course going to the terrace and having dinner outside the house (believe me, that was a treat) on the brightest night of the year. In the recipes below, I have made Masala Dudh in the microwave and used Brown Pohe - a healthier version of the pihe, which tastes as good. So heres wishing all our members a Very Happy Kojagiri Poornima! Recipes 1. Microwave Masala Dudh - Milk 1 cup - Pinch of cardamon powder - Pinch of nutmeg powder - 1 to 1&1/2 teaspoons of sugar - A few strands of saffron - 1/4 tsp chopped nuts Mix all the ingredients except for sugar & microwave on high for 1 minute. The container should be 3 to 4 times the quantity of milk so that it does not overflow Mix thoroughly and continue to repeat for 20 to 30 second intervals of heating followed by mixing for a total of 4 to 5 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the sugar. Serve while still warm. 2. Dudh Pohe - 1 Milk 1 cup - Pinch of cardamon powder - Pinch of nutmeg powder - 1 to 1&1/2 teaspoons of sugar - 3 to 4 tablespoons of pohe Mix all the ingredients except Pohe. Add the pohe in 5 minutes before serving. 3. Gul Pohe - 1 Milk 1 cup - Pinch of cardamon powder - Pinch of nutmeg powder - 1 to 1&1/2 teaspoons of powdered Kolhapuri Jaggery (Gul) - 3 to 4 tablespoons of pohe Mix all the ingredients except Pohe.
