Poha Recipe | Flattened Rice Indian Breakfast | How to prepare Flattened Rice/ Kanda Poha/Aval Upma

 Aval Upma

For me, Poha is a childhood favorite. Although its a breakfast dish ,we used to have poha as an evening snack after school. Whether you make this poha recipe for breakfast, as a main dish or as a snack, its quick, filling, and tasty. Kanda poha is made with onions. This recipe is sort of two-in-one. You can add the potatoes if you like, if not, just stick with the onions. Let us see how to prepare Poha.
