Poha was a stable
food in our breakfast when I was with my mom. She used to make it different
each time, everything taste great. I learned few recipes from my mother and now
I am making it at my home. This one is the basic upma recipe which can be made
in less than 15 mins.

simple seasoned poha, this is so light on the tummy but has lots of fiber in
it. I hope you will like it.

Healthy and yummy snack
I had to look most of these ingredients up as I have never heard of them! I cannot imagine eating all that for breakfast. I have a banana which is quick and easy with a cup of herbal tea!
Have a good day Diane
