An easy peasy Breakfast dish that's not only popular in Maharashtra where it comes from but also all over the Country. People just love this simple yet wholesome and healthy Breakfast. It's a favourite of many and people enjoy it steaming hot as it is without any accompaniment. It is pure bliss.

And with this traditional dish, i made a healthy fusion with Sugar free Crackers. With a yummy Green Chutney as a base and then topping up with the lip-smacking homemade Poha. It not only gave it a beautiful look but also delightfully delicious and scrumptious Canapes for a change. These delicious Canapes can also be a great choice for Starters and Appetizers too for any special day or a party. It would make the party or the occasion even more special and memorable. Do give these a try. Iam sure you gonna love them.

Happy Breakfast Time with Zeen!

Steps

20-25 minutes

1

Wash, rinse and drain the poha or the flattened rice once or twice. Do not soak it. Rinse and drain immediately. Keep aside until use.
2

Meanwhile heat oil in a kadhai or a pan. Saute onions and chopped ginger. Then add peanuts and curry leaves. Saute on a low heat until the raw smell fades away.
3

Add green chillies, salt and turmeric powder now. And finally the poha or the flattened rice. Mix well and squeeze some lemon juice onto it. Garnish with coriander leaves. That's it.
4

Serve it piping hot right away. But here comes the twist or the innovative idea. This fusion requires topping of the delicious poha on each cracker. But before the topping, spread a little of freshly made green chutney first. This is the base.
5

And then top each of the cracker with the prepared yummy poha in generous amounts. Serve it right away for a delightful and desirable fusion dish. Enjoy!

Tips

This also makes for a perfect Starter or an Appetizer for the family parties or any important occasions as a beautiful change. Yum!

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.
