Poha for breakfast

I never used to like Poha (Cheng-paak in Meiteilon), it reminds me so much of the TISS, DH evening snacks. They used to make it so horribly, I don’t knw how the cooks at TISS, DH  prepare food....everything tasted the same which in short was “BAD”. I don't know how we survived those 2 yrs.

Coming back to Poha, one fine morning out of the blue I decided to make Poha for breakfast and as usual with few of my own additions. I was not surprised when it turned out so yummy that since then I normally have Poha for breakfast on most Sundays. Making Poha is easy the only issue is with chopping the veggies... its time consuming... so I normally have it on Sundays or holidays only.
