Kheel is a type of Puffed Rice made from Paddy (Rice with the husk) that is heated until it puffs up. The heating process is done at a high temperature often in Sand or Salt which causes the grain to expand into a light crunchy snack. The innovative twist to the original Poha dish. This is just perfect.
The best part about it is that it can be enjoyed anytime as a light crunchy meal for a healthy change. This Kheel Poha is such a delightful try by me for a perfect and a delicious wholesome Breakfast on any given day.

The best part is that it can be made so quickly in just a few minutes and relished for Breakfast too like the plain Flattened Rice. You would love it's awesome texture and flavour. A super delicious Breakfast dish that is fresh, pure and homemade. Let's get on with the recipe straight away folks.

Enjoy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
