Occasionally, you get an urge to eat something different for breakfast. Something other than bread or pakodas or pancakes or traditional poha. Baked poha(thick beaten rice) comes into picture then, which of course is another amazing way to make poha.
This poha is made using curd and semolina. The sourness of curd and lime, the tartness of green chilies, bittersweet taste of salt and sugar, crispiness of poha, combines together to give an overall tangy flavor to the whole dish. Mustard tempering on top adds a mouthwatering aroma in your kitchen and augments the deliciousness.
