Having grown up in the interior of Haryana, I never had taste poha let alone know how to make poha. How poha or Pohe as it is known in MP became an integral part of our comfort breakfast is an interesting story. When we were Kids, my Mama (maternal Uncle) visited Indore on a work trip. Indori poha is one of most famous breakfast. During that time he fell in the love with a Girl and she cooked a very delicious (but uncommon for us) breakfast of Indori poha for him. So, he brought back more than just a love story. Yes! he got for us some food stories as well 🙂 and some flattened rice with a recipe of how to make poha. Now, of course, we love our Kanda poha, Bread poha etc too.

Veg Poha Vs Aloo Poha

So as a novel dish most of the family members tried it and we fell in love with ‘Aloo poha’ immediately. The girl (now my Aunt) had already won the hearts of elders and she was already accepted as a family member by Nana Ji. Needless to say, our love affair with Poha continued. I always have loved the traditional version of aloo poha in which fried potatoes and lots of peanuts are added to the soaked poha. But now after 4 decades of life and a very slow metabolism later, I needed some changes in diet and lifestyle patterns. Now the portion size, quality of nutrition and calories in poha all have started to matter. I replace the potatoes in poha with vegetables. Adding vegetables in place of potatoes reduces the calories, brings into acceptable Glycemic Index range. It helps me to bulk up the recipe, I use less quantity of flattened rice/poha. I replaced the white rice poha with red rice poha. Red rice poha is better in nutrition and is unpolished. So, what could be a better situation when your comfort breakfast of poha is now vegetable poha. It is a healthier version so you can enjoy it in a guilt-free manner.
