"Poha or flattened rice with onions is a very popular dish in India especially for breakfast or lunch. It’s pretty healthy and nutritious considering the little oil it uses in the entire dish and you can make it healthier by increasing the amount of vegetables you add in it. This time I used only peas but any vegetable works."
