Notes

• Poha is a steamed and flattened rice...so you actually don't have to cook it...just run it under hot water until the grain is soft.

• You can get the actual poha grain at any Indian grocery store or you can order an organic brand online.

• This is a GREAT easy, simple, light, breakfast, lunch, or dinner for pittas. ALSO great in the Summer.

• Option to add steamed seasonal veggies to your poha - cauliflower, kale, sweet potato, even some sprouted mung beans would be nice :).
