10 minute kanda Poha (அவல் உப்புமா )

Poha is flattened rice which has lots of vitamin c and iron in it. Its very filling whenever we eat this, for breakfast or snack or dinner. The color the poha gets is from turmeric. You can add potato to this I never tried it though. I usually add peanuts to give a little crunch and make it even more healthier.
I am a fan of this upma. When we lived in India my cook used to do this for morning breakfast .I learnt it from her, the way she do it with love for cooking and with a smiley face, I love her a lot. I miss her a lot here ....
This recipe is very easy to make and it will be ready in 5 minutes. When you come from office tired this gives you much energy to prepare a delicious dinner for your family .

  8. Rice is more popular over here than poha. I really don't know why to buy it so I am sure rice (cooked) will work fine for this tempting dish. Beautiful add on of ingredients.

    1. You mean raw rice ?I am sure it gives a great taste may be you need to add more chili and salt than for a regular poha .
