What it is

Poha is rice that has been parboiled, flattened and dried into thin flakes. It is the quick breakfast of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh as kanda poha, and in Tamil and Kerala homes it becomes aval upma, sweet aval with jaggery and coconut, or the base for a chivda.

Medium is the middle thickness: sturdy enough to hold its shape after a rinse, soft enough to cook in minutes. Choosing between thicknesses? Thin poha for chivda and no-cook recipes, medium for everyday kanda poha and aval upma, thick for anything that needs a longer soak or a firmer bite.

Tip: Salt and a pinch of sugar go on the rinsed poha before it meets the pan, so every flake is seasoned.

Goes well with: Heera Pink Peanuts, Heera Curry Leaves, Swaad Black Mustard Seeds
