Gopalkala | Dahi Poha | Gokulastami recipe

Gopalkala / Dahi Poha, a easy to make savory poha dish with curd. Last year around krishna jeyanthi time, i came to know about this dish through some facebook share. I loved the simplicity of this dish and had tried it immediately and it turned out super creamy and flavorful. Later on, i have prepared this dish on many occasion to offer as prasadam. It's super easy and comes handy on your busy days.Even if you don't have any time to prepare anything special for krishna jeyanthi, you can still make this & offer as prasadam to little krishna as both aval/poha & curd are his favorites.😊
