Here's a quick and easy breakfast recipe with minimal ingredients. If you are looking for a variety breakfast recipe with least efforts, this one is for you. This is a traditional Maharashtrian breakfast recipe.
I've posted one Aloo Poha recipe some years ago. Recently, I got some white Poha to make Set Dosa, but that didn't happen. Instead I ended up with this one, but no regrets. I make this on days when I want something quick and filling and healthy.
It can be considered as a healthy fast food dish, since it doesn't take more than 7-10 mins to make this. It's also good as a brunch or as a tiffin or as an evening snack. Btw, you can use White or Brown Poha to make this. I do hope you try this super quick, easy and tasty dish.
Here is the recipe…

Add poha and gently stir, till everything is combined. Cover and steam the poha on low flame for 3-4 mins…
