Brown poha

 


Poha is made from beaten rice and can be served best as a light breakfast, as a snack for tea, and to pack in tiffins for kids.

When shopping for ingredients, always prefer organically prepared food as it promotes health benefits such as –

  1. Ridding the food of pesticides or harmful chemicals.
  2. No scope of water contamination.
  3. Higher nutritional value and improved taste
Some health benefits of brown poha are:

1. Controls Blood Sugar Levels 

Poha is rich in fibre, which facilitates a steady release of sugar into the bloodstream, which prevents any sudden surge in blood sugar levels.

2. A Healthy Probiotic 

Poha is good probiotic food because it is made by parboiling paddy and then drying it out in the sun for a couple of hours. The finished product undergoes fermentation and thus retains the microbial flora from the partly digested carbs and proteins, which is healthful for the gut.

3. Healthy Carbohydrates

Poha comprises 76.9 per cent carbohydrates and 23 per cent fats. Hence, it is a healthy breakfast as these healthy carbs deliver energy to sustain life processes.

4. Easily Digestible 
Poha is light on the stomach and gets digested easily. Therefore, you can have it as a first-morning meal or as a light evening snack. Poha does not cause bloating and also keeps you full for longer.

It is very easy to make poha following this recipe:

  1. Soak the brown rice flakes in water along with a pinch of salt for about a minute. Drain and again soak the flakes in one cup of clean water for roughly 10 minutes.
  2. Once the flakes have soaked up all the water, they will become soft. Sprinkle some salt and sugar on the soaked flakes and blend well.
  3. Heat oil in a wok and add mustard seeds. When they splutter, add some cumin seeds followed by the curry leaves and the green chillies.
  4. Add some peanuts and fry them for a few minutes.
  5. Add onions followed by asafetida and turmeric powder. Keep frying the onions until they become translucent.
  6. Add the soaked and seasoned flakes and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes and ensure that everything gets mixed properly.
  7. Cover the wok and leave the poha to get cooked on steam for another minute on a moderate flame.
  8. Turn off the flame, and squeeze some lemon juice all over the poha.
  9. Stir well and garnish using coriander leaves, scraped coconut as-well-as pomegranate seeds.
