Poha or flattened rice is very commonly consumed in Indian households. The Indori Poha which is made in a different style with a typical spice powder. The taste of Indori Poha is khatta-meetha, meaning sour and sweet. For a sweet and floral undertone in the poha, fennel seeds and jeeravan masala is added too. Here I had cooked poha for my son's lunch box so no more spices added. You can add as per your taste and requirement and garnish it with indori sev, masala boondi or pomegranate 😄
