Poha is also known as 'Beaten Rice' in English and Avalakki in Kannada, Chiwda in Marathi and so on...
This is one simple and hazzle free dish for breakfast and done within few mins. My husband likes this Masala Poha than the regular one which we prepare only with coconut and jaggery. During his stay in NL, he has just survived with this Poha, bread and egg, and ofcourse bachelor's special Maggie noodles for breakfast. At weekends, I too become lazy and just forget about getting early in the mornings. But once I start my day, the first thing comes into my mind is "What's for breakfast today?". Oh! Then finally I end up with this simple Masala Poha.
Here's the Poha recipe
Ingredients
Poha/Aval/Chiwda/Avalakki or whatever u call it - 2 cups

Method.
1. Wash this Avalakki and drain the water from it and leave it untouched and continue with other preparation like chopping onions and chillies. Since we use thick Poha to this recipe, it should get soften.
