If you assumed that poha had a single recipe, then you're in for a surprise. It is essentially flattened rice cooked with vegetables and some spices, and it is a common breakfast choice in India. Because it is healthful, light, and provides a healthy supper, there are many different poha recipes available across the nation. Consider the kanda poha from Maharashtra and the indori poha from Madhya Pradesh. These foods have a big impact on how each state's food culture is defined. Similarly to that, you may discover several experimental poha recipes everywhere. If you ask us, we simply like munching those poha-made cutlets that are crunchy and delectable. They are simple to make and go wonderfully with a steaming cup of tea.
