Vegetable poha is one of the most popular healthy Indian breakfast dishes made with flattened rice known as poha.
Poha has a slightly longer shelf life and can be used the next day. The addition of roasted peanuts along with the hint of lemon along with the roasted vegetables makes this dish simply delectable.
vegetable Poha is one of my favorite breakfast recipes. The Vegetable Poha recipe is one of the most cooked breakfasts in our home, When eaten with tea in the morning, Poha tastes its best.
It is a great lunchbox addition because it is both light and filling. Poha can be utilized the next day and has a somewhat longer shelf life.
Adding vegetables in place of potatoes reduces the calories, and brings it into the acceptable Glycemic Index range. It helps me to bulk up the recipe, I use less quantity of flattened rice/poha.
