MASALA POHA / FLATTENED RICE

Of-late, Poha / flattened rice has become my preferred,healthy go-to option ! I have posted nearly five dishes,involving poha on the blog. You can try any number of dishes by incorporating poha. The taste is almost similar to rice. In this dish,I have blended poha with the paste of mint,garlic cloves,green chillies  and made this "masala poha". I couldn't think of better name :)
