Poha (Flattened Rice Breakfast)
There are a lot of recipes to make Poha, every region has its own way to make Poha. As you know by now, I believe in the simplicity of the recipe and of course, a recipe that can be made in a hurry, this is a good one. I usually don't like to start cooking early in the morning, so when I have guests over this recipe helps me to prepare a fancy breakfast in a jiffy. You can add any vegetables, like cauliflower or peas to this if you like, I have only added potatoes to this one. In addition to the vegetables, you can add peanuts or coconut also as per your choice.
