Poha

Rating5.0DifficultyEasy

Poha is flattened rice and is widely popular in North India. It's a famous snack item in all over North india but Indori-Poha is on top of all. It's very nutritive and can be prepared in matter of minutes. Potato,Onion,Peanut can be added to give it more body and zing to the taste. As it gets ready in minutes, it has been a most relished dish in everyday routine.This is one of my favorite breakfast for which I crave for every week-end. This recipe is pretty simple. You just soaked Poha in water and then let it rest for a while.Temper it with Curry Patta and Mustard seeds, and most amazing dish is ready in a blink of an eye.
