Indori poha is a very popular and famous breakfast dish from the state of Madhya Pradesh. It is prepared using thick poha / flattened rice. This poha is topped with spicy sev or farsan and jeeravan (special spice mix) which makes it different from our regular poha. This spicy, tangy, a little sweet and chatpata Indori poha is a treat in itself.
