Day 6 - Blogging Marathon - Easy breezy breakfast.

Poha, is a very common breakfast in North India. In South India we make a different version of this. This was made one morning when we ran out of Dosa batter. I did not want to buy the batter from outside as my dad does not like the taste of it. We generally make the idli and dosa batter at home. Will write a detailed post about it later.

Very simle to make but tasty to eat. This poha needs very simple ingredients
  • Poha - 1 cup
  • Green Chillies - 1 cut into small pieces
  • Groundnut - for granish
  • Turmeric powder - a pinch
  • Salt to taste.


This breezy breakfast can be made in the following way
  • Wash the poha in running water and squeeze of excess water
  • In a non stick frying pan , add a little oil
  • When the oil is hot , add mustard seeds and groundnut
  • Fry for a minute or so then add the washed poha
  • Add salt and turmeric at this stage
  • Keep tossing for a minute. Make sure the texture of poha is not destroyed

Your easy breakast is ready in a few minutes time. This can also be given as an evening snacks for children who come back from school. There are many variations that can be done to this simple dish. Will have to try them and soon blog about it.
