Here’s a healthier twist on everyone’s favorite traditional Indian breakfast/snack. While poha is traditionally made with flattened rice, supplementing with oats provides fiber and lots of nutrients. While my preferred method uses both rice poha and oats, you can certainly make this with only oats. The fam likes to add sev or chavanu on top for added crunch and spice. LMK what you prefer!
INGREDIENTS Temper
1 tbs oil
½ tsp mustard seeds
½ tsp cumin seeds
3 tbs raw peanuts (optional)
