Poha is a quintessential Indian breakfast dish that is a go-to food for many in various parts of the sub-continent. In fact, it is so popular that every Indian region has its own version of poha. In Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, little sugar is added to poha while making it, later topped with spicy bhujia. In Goa, hung curd is added to make Goan-style dhayanche fov (curd poha). People in Uttar Pradesh savour their poha with a side of sweet and sugary jalebis or imartis. Whether you like to eat it with lots of peanuts, curry leaves, etc. or you love to chomp on the fried version (read: chivda) of this flattened rice delight, poha holds a very special place in our breakfast menu.
