Ingredients used in the making of vegetable poha
Poha (flattened rice)- I have used white coloured thick poha for this recipe. Thin poha is not a good choice for this dish as it becomes clumsy after absorbing water and does not taste good. You can also try with red rice poha or black rice poha if you want.
Fresh veggies – I used onion, carrot, potato and tomato. Finely chop the vegetables as they cook fast and easily blend with poha. You can also add beans, green capsicum, peas as per your taste.
Green chillies– Gives a spicy taste and flavour.
Curry leaves– Provides a unique aroma to the poha dish and is good for digestion.
Peanuts – Roasted peanuts give a crunchiness and add protein content to the dish.
Besan bhujia (optional) – gives a crunchy and spicy texture to the poha dish.
