Poha Upma/Aval Upma is one of the simple and easiest breakfast which can be prepared within 15 mins. This is one of the staple breakfast recipes of South India. This delicious breakfast is made from flattened rice (also known as beaten rice).
The best way to prepare this recipe is to use thick poha/aval. To make perfect aval wash poha thoroughly with water, drain the water completely and keep it for 5 mins to soak. You don’t soak poha in the water itself. If you do so it would become soggy. Nowadays different varieties of poha are available, you can use any of them to prepare this recipe. In this recipe, I have used peanuts while sauteeing. Instead of peanuts, you can even add cashews. If you like the tangy taste, at last after switching off the stove, squeeze half lemon juice and serve. Now let us see how to prepare this recipe.
