BREAD POHA /AN EASY TO MAKE FILLING BREAKFAST
The bread poha is a unique preparation using thick slices of bread. Loaded with several veggies, this poha is cooked so colourfully that invites you to make it quite often. Usually, I cook rice poha/flattened rice for my breakfast. This breakfast becomes healthier when I add a lot of veggies to it. Topped with fried peanuts and the sev make it perfectly crunchy and flavoursome to both types of pohe
This variation of poha with bread can be enjoyed as the first meal of the day as well as the evening snack with chai. This is very filling and easy to cook in no time. This bread poha is cooked with thick slices of bread which are usually discarded by most of us as no one wants to eat them. As the name suggests, this poha requires the bread slices as the main ingredient which are chopped into small bits. The moisture from various veggies makes it softer.I sprinkle some water as a finishing touch so that all the ingredients come together. In this way, this does not turn into a soggy one but cooks each bit separated(khila-khila)
