500 g poha flat rice flakes
10 urad papad Can use different flavors of papad available. I have used the plain urad dal papad.
2 tbsp powdered sugar (if you want a little extra sweetness in it then you can add the extra sugar if you want)
4 tsp black pepper powder freshly grounded
4 tbsp peanut oil
1/2 tsp asafoetida (optional)
salt as per taste

Sieve and clean the poha. Heat the broad pan and roast the poha on a medium heat till the poha are crispy. Keep on stirring constantly to prevent the browning of the poha. (The process will take less time if the poha are kept in sun for 2-3 hours)
Remove them in the bowl.
Roast the papad on the flat pan, gas flame or microwave. I have roasted them on the flat pan.
Heat oil in the same big broad pan in which the poha were roasted. Add asafoetida to it.
Add the roasted poha and roast them for 5-6 minutes more. Then add the salt and black pepper powder to it.
Crush the roasted papad and add them to the poha. Mix them well and toss them on low heat for five more minutes.
Now in the last add the powdered sugar.
Mix them well and remove from the flame immediately . (the sugar will start melting and will burn the poha).
The Papad poha are ready. Serve them immediately or cool and store in an airtight container.

Note:

Use good quality of flat and thin rice flakes (Nylon Poha).

The poha should be roasted on the medium flame till they are crispy.

If possible then put the raw poha in the sun before using them. This will remove moisture from it.
