Kanda Poha (Breakfast )

Hello everyone,

Kanda Pohe/ Poha is a vegetarian vegan dish filled with flavor and peanut protein. My mom makes the BEST Poha I have ever had and the fact that she’s my mom , gives me advantage in knowing her awesome recipe🙌🏽.

Here’s a quick recipe and video of how to make Kanda Poha.

Kanda means ( onion= very good for your hair and skin)

Poha (flattened rice )and plus no dairy just puffed rice which is starch free after washing it in water.

Once the kids are at school I love my quite mornings with some chai tea on the side and this spicy, tasty ,tangy and quite mouth- watering breakfast. You have to give it a try if you’re trying to cut out high carb foods in your diet. Poha is flattened rice without much starch in it and is great for digestion.

Notes

Self-rising flour works best in this recipe, but if you can’t find it, you can substitute 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/4 teaspoons baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Be sure to not crowd the fryer or pan, only frying several florets at a time. Try beer-battering and deep-frying other vegetables, such as green beans, cauliflower florets or zucchini or yellow squash slices.
