Poha | How to make Poha

Poha or Aval Upma is one of the easiest upmas you can make. This version is topped with savory mixtures and sev with raw onions that gives you a feeling of eating a chat.

When I started making poha again after a period, I noticed that it had mixed reactions. Each one had a different opinion about it. Konda refused to eat it, while Hubby said he would have it if he was offered as how it was made in Haridwar. Peddu loves it while Chinnu says its ok, mostly for the cashews I add in it.

So with reaction, I try to repeat it once in two weeks just to ensure we have a different breakfast. I love it and so I don’t mind repeating it more often.

And this is one of the simplest and quietest breakfast you can make when you are rushing out on a weekday.
