Indori Poha Recipe

Indori Poha is a widely eaten breakfast in central India. The recipe is quite similar to the usual poha recipe but the traditional poha actually uses a little bit of water which is why it is also called 'tari poha'. Just a little bit of water is added to give the poha the much needed softness. Here no veggies are actually added but you can always go for your favourite vegetables to toss in the poha. Indori Poha serves as the perfect breakfast as well as a standalone snack.
