What is Poha?

Poha is flattened rice. There are many variations of Poha in India. Among these variations, my favorite is all veggie poha, tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and flavored with freshly grated coconut or desiccated coconut.

It is a very popular breakfast recipe all over India. The recipe changes a bit in the respective location. This makes Poha one of the most versatile dishes too.

Is Poha Healthy?

White rice is polished to such an extent that it is stripped of its nutrients and fiber contents. In comparison, Poha is less processed and light in terms of cooking and digestion. Poha is the best breakfast food. It packs approximately 70% of healthy carbohydrates and 30% fat.
